Roger Mills
I graduated from Culver Military Academy, Amherst College, and the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and trained in internal medicine, internship and two years residency, at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. After two years of active duty in the Navy, I completed my cardiology training at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital (Harvard Medical School).
I was a clinical faculty member at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in its early years, and later a full-time faculty member at at the University of Florida. I worked as a staff cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic and then joined J&J, first with Scios Inc., and then with Janssen Pharmaceuticals.
My non-fiction books include Nesiritide, the Rise and Fall of Scios and a posthumous memoir assembled from the papers of my college friend and double sculls partner, Bernie Witholt, titled 240 Beats per Minute: Life with an Unruly Heart. Nesiritide won a 2016 Foreword Indies bronze in science and 240 Beats is listed as an “Amazon Bestseller in Doctor-Patient Relations.” I also contributed to and edited JFK. The Last Speech. The book is a companion volume to Bestor Cram’s prizewinning documentary film “JFK. The Last Speech,” and the book won first place for nonfiction in the 27th Annual Writer’s Digest self-published book awards (2020).
Everything’s Under Control, my first novel, will be published in September of 2027 by Bancroft Press.
