The University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine (UMMSM) is the graduate medical school of the University of Miami.

The main medical campus is located in the Civic Center, Miami, Florida within the 153-acre (0.62 km2) UM/Jackson Memorial Medical Center complex. The medical center includes three University-owned hospitals that make up the University of Miami Health System: University of Miami Hospital, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Anne Bates Leach Eye Hospital, home to the top-ranked Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. Affiliated hospitals on the medical campus include Jackson Memorial Hospital, Holtz Children's Hospital, and the Miami VA Medical Center. Plans are underway to build the UM Life Science Park with two million square feet of space adjacent to the medical campus. The facility will bring together academia and industry for collaboration in bioscience research and innovation. Jackson Memorial Hospital serves as the school's major teaching facility and is one of the largest hospitals in the United States with more than 1,550 beds.

The main University of Miami campus is served by the Miami Metrorail at the University Station, and the Miller School of Medicine is served by the Metro's Civic Center Station in the Civic Center. The two are about a 20-minute train ride away.

Famous quotes containing the words miller, school and/or medicine:

    I have tossed hours upon the tides of fever,
    Upon the billows of my bood have ridden,
    Where fish of fancy teem as neither river
    Nor ocean spawns from India to Sweden.
    —Vassar Miller (b. 1924)

    Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.
    Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)

    God isn’t compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
