Miller School Launches Podcast Focused on Insights in Academic Medicine

The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine this week launched Inside U Miami Medicine, a new podcast that gives listeners an in-depth look into academic medicine’s discoveries and innovations, from the exemplary people who make them possible.

Icon for Inside U Miami Medicine podcast, created for the Miller School of Medicine.

The podcast features faculty, clinicians, and researchers, along with students from the Miller School, as well as colleagues from other academic and health care institutions.

“These are unscripted, one-on-one conversations with the brilliant faculty here at the Miller School,” said Dean Henri R. Ford, M.D., M.H.A., who is also host of the series. “It’s a treat to hear their personal perspectives and the journeys that brought them to where they are today—advancing discovery that can be translated into clinical interventions to improve the health of our community and the world.”
