The Annual Miller Lecture has been a highlight of Johns Hopkins Medical Grand Rounds since 2004. The purpose of the Miller Lecture is to highlight the importance of Medicine as a public trust. Previous speakers, listed below, have included presidents of universities, foundations and public coalitions, Deans of Schools of Medicine, Chairs of Departments of Medicine, a Pulitzer Prize winner and finalist, MacArthur Fellowship awardees, renowned authors, leaders in economics and, in 2022, the Director for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Thanks to the generosity of the Miller family – the late Mr. G. Thomas Miller and Mrs. Anne G. Miller, and their daughters and sons-in-law, Mrs. Sarah Miller Coulson and the late Mr. Frank L. Coulson, Jr. and Mrs. Leslie Anne Miller and Mr. Richard Brown Worley.
