, majoring in Human Biology
. He walked on and made the Varsity Football Team as a freshman under NFL Hall of Fame Coach Jack Christiansen
. and assistant coach Gunther Cunningham, who told Burke, "I never thought a guy your size could play in the PAC 10, but you can." after a remarkably violent kickoff return tackle. Burke co-captained the Varsity Rugby Team, touring New Zealand and Canada, where he played wing forward. He graduated with Honors and Distinction, with election to the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. Distinguished classmates included Pete Higgins, an executive at Microsoft, and Timothy C. Draper
, founder of the venture firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson. Notable professors included Nobel Laureates Linus C. Pauling (Chemistry, 1954 and Peace, 1962) and Arthur L. Schawlow (Physics, 1981).
Burke attended medical school at Harvard University
from 1980 to 1984. Influential instructors included Hardy Hendren, Paul Buttenweiser and Judah Folkman
. Burke was present for the first heart transplants in New England, performed by Professor John J. Collins, at the Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Burke was selected for General Surgical Residency Training at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, under then Surgeon in Chief, John A. Mannick MD, Mosely Professor of Surgery at Harvard Medical School. The Brigham training philosophy was "see one, do one, teach one." Notable instructors included Nobel Prize
Winner Joseph Murray
, who performed the world’s first kidney transplant.
In 1989, after completing his General Surgery training at the Brigham, and in preparation for his cardiac training, Burke spent a year as a research fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in the Spectroscopy Laboratory, under Michael S. Feld, PhD. He investigated the use of laser induced tissue fluorescence spectroscopy to diagnose rejection in transplanted cardiac tissue.
Burke was selected for Cardiac Surgery Training at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The program had a history of aggressive innovation, beginning with the pioneering work of Dwight Harken, who performed the first successful open heart surgeries, removing shell fragments from the hearts of WWII soldiers. Professors Lawrence H. Cohn, featured in the ABC Network Television Series: BostonMed, and Jack J. Collins, who died on March 6, 2010, built the Cardiac Surgery Residency Training Program at The Brigham and Women's Hospital, and created a remarkable academic training regimen. They produced a legion of Chiefs of Cardiac Surgery across the United States. Professor David Sugarbaker built the first Thoracic Surgery Program at the Brigham, and developed the lung transplantation program there during Burke's training period.
Burke spent six months as the Chief Resident in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery under Professor Aldo Castaneda, and attending surgeons, Richard Jonas, John Mayer, and Frank Hanley. When Dr Hanley accepted the position of Chief of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery at the University of California in San Francisco, the group offered Burke his position, and he joined the Children's Hospital Boston
attending staff in 1992, becoming an Instructor in Surgery at the Harvard Medical School.
Burke and Craig Lillehei, an attending pediatric surgeon, also performed the first three pediatric Heart-Lung Transplantations in New England http://espanol.childrenshospital.org/childrenshb/enes/24/_www_childrenshospital_org/clinicalservices/Site457/mainpageS457P5sublevel6.html, with the help of colleagues from the Brigham and Women’s Hospital including Malcolm Decamp, and Sari Aranki. In early 1995, Dr Castaneda retired, and Burke was invited to interview for a position as Chief of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery at Miami Children’s Hospital in Miami, Florida.
Burke and associate surgeon Robert Hannan worked with their Director of Perfusion, Jorge W. Ojito, to develop a less traumatic cardiopulmonary bypass technique.http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/6918887.html They also designed a miniaturized Cardiopulmonary Support circuit, allowing critically ill patients to be transported by plane, helicopter or ambulance over great distances on full heart lung bypass. In 2007, Burke and Zahn, at Miami Children's partnered with cardiac teams in Boston and New York in the first US trial of the Medtronic
Melody (tm) Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve, which allowed patients with pulmonary valve disease to have their valves replaced without surgery.http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Medtronic+Announces+First+U.S.+Implant+of+Its+Melody+Transcatheter...-a0159495478 Burke performed the first open tricuspid valve replacement on a patient with a transcatheter valve after the patient developed severe early onset endocarditis in his Melody Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve in the Tricuspid position. The patient subsequently did well after surgical tricuspid valve replacement.
.http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1043067904000619 Beginning in 2002, Burke's surgical team started continuously measuring and reporting their surgical outcomes on the Web.http://www.pediatricheartsurgery.com/Performance/CVPerformancePage.asp In 2006, Burke and White collaborated with IBM

, Florida lost their congenital heart program. Burke initiated meetings with hospital administrator Janet Livingstone, CEO John Hillenmeyer, and Medical Director Mark Swanson MD, proposing that the Miami Children’s Cardiac Team help rebuild the Arnold Palmer Heart Program. Arnold Palmer, the hospital's founder, approved of the plan, and used his considerable influence to finance the effort. The Congenital Heart Institute at Miami Children’s Hospital and Arnold Palmer Hospital was created, with Redmond Burke and Evan Zahn acting as Co-Directors.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbZZMnsny3M&feature=channel_page
The synthesis of Burke's work was to achieve resonance within a congenital heart team, a condition where every member of the team was driven by a common desire to reduce therapeutic trauma.http://www.nv-med.com/pcs/meeting/lecture.php?mc=38&no=6 To attain this resonance, the team continues to develop techniques in intensive care, information management, interventional catheterization, and minimally invasive surgery.http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0603/08/sbt.01.html The human side of Burke's congenital heart team at Miami Children's Hospital has been described in parent's websites http://www.heartandcoeur.com/story/peter_1.php], and in the media.http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/health/family/news-article.aspx?storyid=113591&catid=25

The program was controversial, as it potentially induced patients to give up their privacy in return for excellent medical care.

At the age of 36, Burke became the Chief of Pediatric Cardiovascular Surgery at Miami Children’s Hospital.http://www.mch.com/medicalServices/findPhysician/physicianDetails.aspx?doctorID=72 Building on lessons learned in Boston and Silicon Valley, his program was designed around two key principles:- Reduce the trauma of care for each patient over their lifetime.
- Leverage the power of information technology to improve medical outcomes.
Reducing Surgical Trauma
In an effort to reduce cumulative therapeutic trauma, the Miami team unified the efforts of cardiac surgeons and interventional cardiologists, attempting to develop less invasive treatments for a broad range of congenital heart defects. Beginning in 1996, Burke and the interventional cardiology team at Miami Children's Hospital published a series of hybrid approaches, where the surgeons operated in the catheterization laboratory, and the cardiologists performed interventions in the operating room.http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118635891/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0 Many of these procedures utilized the video assisted thoracoscopic techniques Burke developed in Boston.Burke and associate surgeon Robert Hannan worked with their Director of Perfusion, Jorge W.

Information technology
When Burke arrived in Miami in 1995, he hired Jeffrey A. White to act as a technology advisor, working with the heart team to find and develop applications of information technology to improve medical outcomes. This collaboration resulted in a relational database for congenital heart surgery, a web based information system for a medical team, and web based reporting of medical outcomes in real time. The web based information system enabled a unique form of rounds, which they called "internet rounds," enabling information exchange and clinical decision making over the InternetInternet
