Although Dr. Jim McMillan did not initially want to be a physician, God changed his heart. He became an internist and nephrologist who, after completing his fellowship in San Francisco, returned with his wife, Kathy, and their two children, Lisa and Mark, to join the faculty of Loma Linda University. He has now been a faculty member for 31

years, having the privilege of teaching students, residents, and fellows. He believes the joy of mentoring trainees and encouraging them to care for patients’ spiritual needs is unequaled in his professional life.
