The Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences is excited to share that fourth-year diagnostic radiology resident Jessica Miller, MD, PhD, will be staying with the department as an Emergency Radiology Fellow. Following her fellowship, Dr. Miller will join our Emergency Radiology section as an Assistant Professor.
“I have had an amazing experience training at Vanderbilt as a resident and learning from the faculty, staff, and my colleagues,” says Dr. Miller. “Everyone has been genuinely supportive of my career goals, and for that I am truly thankful. I look forward to working with a great team as I continue my journey as an emergency radiology fellow and future faculty member.”
Before receiving her MD and PhD, Dr. Miller worked as a development engineer at Kimberly-Clark Healthcare and Abbott Vascular. Her time in the private sector included researching user needs for feeding tube products and designing and developing heart stents.
“Dr. Miller is an accomplished researcher and clinician that will add a transformative layer to the Emergency Radiology divisions partnership with Emergency Medicine,” says Laveil Allen, MD, Executive Vice Chair of Radiology and Emergency Radiology Section Chief. “Her award-winning research related to improving Emergency Radiology workstream efficiency and proficiency has already served as a lightning rod for interdisciplinary process improvement. We look forward to a seamless transition for Jessica into her faculty role upon completion of her fellowship!”
A graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, Dr. Miller received her bachelors, masters, and PhD in Biomedical Engineering, as well as her MD from the Washington University School of Medicine. She has helped develop and manufacture medical devices and technologies, and even has a patent for an intravascular stent with Abbott Vascular.
While at Vanderbilt, Dr. Miller has served on the Graduate Medical Education Internal Review Committee and has published numerous papers. She works with clinical imaging research including ED imaging utilization and workflows.
Congratulations, Dr. Miller!
