Dr. Miriam Michael
Dr. Miriam Michael’s career in nephrology has spanned nearly two
decades, having earned her special honors for outstanding clinical
performance. She has gained extensive experience in healthcare
environments, at universities serving as a professor, and currently, she
is the Medical Director for American Renal Associated Dialysis center
in Washington, D.C. During her tenure, she has treated and managed
patients with kidney diseases ranging from acute failure to kidney
transplant as well as those with hypertension diagnosis.
Currently, she is an attending physician at Howard University Hospital,
where she has been highly committed to teaching, research, and clinical
medicine. Dr. Michael has been a catalyst in the renal care industry; she serves on several
committees, consults with organizations, and is often an invited speaker for many national
meetings and assemblies. Her additional expertise includes renal biopsy, vascular access
placement, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and care management of transplant patients. Her
work has also been funded via grants for Howard University to study and track new diabetic
dialysis patients’ intradialytic hypertension/hypotension (remotely from home), variances in blood
pressure, weight, and heart rate, and to identify parameters and factors that predict hospitalization
and mortality. Currently, she consults with a plethora of organizations and is an invited expert
speaker for many national meetings and assemblies.
A Ward 1 resident, Dr. Michael earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of
Maryland and her Medical Degree from Howard University School of Medicine. GOVERNMENT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
