Welcome to the professional web page of Jessica P. Miller, PhD, HEC-C
I am Professor of Philosophy and Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs and Interdisciplinary Programs in the University of Maine College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In that role, my passion is helping faculty, professional staff, chairs, and directors overcome obstacles and pursue meaningful research, transformative teaching, and impactful service.
I am also a certified clinical ethicist with over 15 years of experience consulting with health care systems, hospitals, physician practices, health care attorneys, medical and other professional associations, news media, and state and local governments.
Recently I trained to become a professional career and executive academic coach. With over 75 hours of education and training and over 100 hours of coaching, I have applied for my International Coaching Federation ACC credential. Check out my podcast, Coaching for Academics.
My research and teaching interests include clinical ethics, medical humanities, moral psychology, feminist theory, popular culture.
