Dr. Kristin Miller '11 on Family Medicine Practice in Oklahoma

Dr. Kristin (née Riggs) Miller was in the very first graduating class at UMHS. The 2011 graduate is currently the President of the UMHS Alumni Association. Dr. Miller’s journey from leaving her hometown of Cincinnati, OH to attend UMHS in St. Kitts and her return to the USA and eventually becoming one of the most successful UMHS graduates to date is inspiring indeed. The UMHS Endeavour caught up with Dr. Miller at the end of a busy weekday. Even after a long day of treating patients, Dr. Miler is still bubbly and upbeat and has a nurturing aura and glow on her face and a twinkle in her eye when she speaks. She spoke to us about her experiences at UMHS; why she originally wanted to be a pediatric oncologist and how she decided instead to go into family medicine; how she paid off nearly half a million dollars in student loans and how she is making a difference as a family medicine doctor at Mercy Hospital in Yukon, Oklahoma, a suburb of Oklahoma City; why she likes being a doctor for senior citizens; her work as a life coach; and also as part-time co-owner of a med spa, and more. She will be one of the panelists on the UMHS YouTube livestream “Primary Care Spotlight: Internal Medicine vs. Family Medicine” on Tuesday, October 24 at 7pm Eastern.
