John M. Miller, MD
Professor of Medicine
Bio
Dr. Miller earned his undergraduate degree, with highest distinction, and medical degrees from Pennsylvania State University. He completed an internship and residency in internal medicine at the North Carolina Memorial Hospital of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. He spent the next several years in cardiovascular and cardiac electrophysiology training, under the tutelage of Dr. Mark Josephson at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. This experience helped him gain recognition as an expert in catheter and intraoperative mapping and ablation of ventricular tachyarrrhythmias. Dr. Miller joined the Indiana University School of Medicine as full professor of medicine to lead its clinical cardiac electrophysiology group in 1998. Since then he has continued to be an active clinician, educator, author and clinical investigator. Areas of special interest include complex catheter ablation procedures for supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation) and innovative diagnostic methods for distinguishing among different arrhythmias. He has authored more than 200 scientific publications and has served on many national committees. He oversees a nationally regarded, rigorous fellowship training program in cardiac electrophysiology at the IU School of Medicine.
