Holly Murphy, MD, MPH&TM - Program Director

I am an Infectious Diseases Clinician, an educator and a public health advocate. My highest priority is to provide compassionate, clinical care to my patients. I strive to build my clinical wisdom through lifelong learning in the fields of Infectious Diseases, Tropical and Travel Medicine and Public Health. My greatest wisdom in the field has come from the lessons taught by my patients. I work to extend and improve the quality of Infectious Diseases clinical care through research and teaching, locally and globally.

As Program Director for the Infectious Diseases Fellowship I advocate for unique, individualized comprehensive learning experiences for fellows, residents and students. I value international exchange for doctors in-training to gain a global perspective in the field of ID and clinical knowledge. I enjoy teaching fellows in the US and internationally and developing cross-cultural learning and research exchange.

My research interests are in clinical disease management of HIV and Hepatitis C, Covid-19; bacterial infections and antimicrobial drug resistance especially in resource-poor settings.
