 Steven
Z. Miller, one of the most loved and most talented members of
the P&S faculty, was killed in a plane crash Tuesday night.
President Bollinger and I extend our deepest sympathies to all
students, faculty and staff who had the great privilege to know him.
Steve was a Columbia College and P&S graduate who joined the P&S
faculty in 1993. He was the Arnold P. Gold Associate Professor of
Clinical Pediatrics, Director of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at New
York-Presbyterian Hospital, and a much beloved teacher to many P&S
students over the past decade. Steve’s great passion was medical
education from scientific and humanistic perspectives.
At the time of his death, he was traveling on behalf of the Gold
Foundation to instruct students in the Midwest about humanism and
professionalism in medicine.
Steve’s wife, Dodi Meyer, M.D., also a member of the Department of
Pediatrics, shared Steve’s ideals in her work on cultural diversity
within the community.
Steve won numerous awards for his teaching, including the
prestigious Columbia University Presidential Award for Outstanding
Teaching. Medical students voted him Teacher of the Year on multiple
occasions.
We have lost an extraordinary human being, an outstanding scholar,
and a great physician. We will honor Dr. Miller's contributions and
legacy in a formal way in the coming weeks.
