Associate Professor Brian Miller is a general surgeon and lecturer in the University of Queensland
Department of Surgery, based at the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane.  His special academic interests
are in colorectal surgery, trauma management and teaching.

He was raised in Kenya, obtained his medical degree at King's College Hospital in London and was a surgical
resident and staff surgeon in Canada before migrating to Australia in 1988.

Dr Miller's designs include:

• Miller's Visceral Retainer, a silastic, flexible, radiopaque, re-sterilisable visceral retainer.
   
• "The Little Red Book" , a surgical teaching tool which started 32 years ago as a compilation of his own notes in preparation for the surgical fellowship examination and is now sold worldwide.  The similarity of the lists to common topics in oral tests is apparent.

Research Interests

       Longitudinal studies by pre and post testing of Surgical Knowledge in medical students.
