Member Spotlight: Dr. Keith Miller

Spotlight honors Keith Miller, MD, FACS, Associate Professor of Surgery at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. Dr. Miller, who was one of the first Nestlé fellows, says nutrition support and metabolic response to insult impacts his patients’ outcomes after surgery. Because clinical nutrition touches every aspect of care, that it’s a natural process, he says it doesn’t get the attention it deserves. He feels that surgical residents have a genuine interest in clinical nutrition, an interest he didn’t feel his peers had when they were residents. He credits ASPEN and educators for sparking this interest. Physician Spotlight is a forum for outstanding Senior Leaders, Young Rising Stars and International Colleagues in the field of nutrition to discuss important topics and ideas that impact patient care.
