Overview
Dr. Murphy is a general internist and clinician investigator whose research focuses on improving physical health care delivery for patients with comorbid serious mental illness and reducing gaps in care quality that disproportionately affect this population.

She also has ongoing work focused on implicit bias and populations with serious mental illness.
