He is not aspiring for any “top award” since he already has that from the American Association of Medical Colleges and the Alpha Omega Alpha Honorary Medical Society in medical education. He keeps garnering frequent flyer miles on Emirates as a regular consultant for the United Arab Emirate’s Ministry of Education’s Commission on Academic Accreditation, zipping over and back on its Dreamliner a few times a year (not in economy). For fun – a yearly sailing trip in the British Virgin Islands with buddies from residency, tending to a traditional English garden, and, like everyone else in the “mature” age group, daily aerobics and minor weight work.

Timothy Greenfield-Sanders was featured in Cultured magazine on March 19, 2019, before the screenings of Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am at the Sundance Film Festival and Miami International Film Festival. Greenfield- Sanders told the magazine: “In my teens, I was very interested in filmmaking, but there were very few college options back then for film school. That’s changed dramatically. For high school I attended Ransom Everglades in Coconut Grove and my great English teacher and guid- ance counselor, Dan Bowden, insisted that I get a well-rounded college educa- tion before I became ‘the next Alfred Hitchcock.’” Greenfield-Sanders went on to Columbia University and majored in art history… and the rest is history.
