Dr. Murphy completed a two-year fellowship after residency studying family therapy and primary care counseling, teaching skills, evidence-based medicine, and health behavior change while also working as a preceptor and physician at a Family Medicine residency program.
"I enjoy the challenge, fun, and education of working with residents. I try to be self-evaluative as much as possible in my approach to patient care and teaching and to teach others how to use this skill themselves to become life-long learners. I love my palm pilot and finding new, useful programs to assist me in patient care and teaching. I'm also interested in designing a behavioral science curriculum that helps residents become the kind of doctors and people that they strive to be."
