Message from the Chair

Department of Medicine

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is committed to advancing health equity by promoting an inclusive environment, one where differences in race, ethnicity, gender identity, nationality, religion, sexual orientation and identity, age, disability, and socioeconomic status are celebrated.

Our mission is to spread our influence globally, which is evident by our commitment to the health and wellbeing of humankind represented by the very diversity of our faculty and residents.

From here, learners and faculty take the knowledge they’ve gained and go out and improve the world. Whether it’s COPD research in Africa or catalyzing a world-wide symposium at the annual Miami Valves Conference, we are building a better world while solving complex and evolving challenges.

We are a global department, a gateway into the world. We are the Department of Medicine at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
