Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, medical school in Miami, Florida
Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine is a medical school in the Civic Center area of Miami, offering undergraduate and graduate programs in medicine. The campus includes research laboratories and teaching hospitals where students train directly with patients.
The school was founded in 1952 as part of the University of Miami and grew over the following decades into a major center for medical training and research in the southeastern United States. In 2006, it was renamed after Leonard M. Miller following a substantial donation from him.
The campus is in the Civic Center area of Miami, close to Jackson Memorial Hospital, and is accessible by public transit. Since this is an active teaching and research facility, access to most areas is restricted, so contacting the school before visiting is a good idea.
The school sits directly next to Jackson Memorial Hospital, one of the largest public hospitals in the country, which gives students access to an unusually broad range of clinical cases. This physical closeness between a teaching school and a major public hospital is something few medical programs can offer.
