Dear Colleagues,



Please extend a warm welcome to Dr. Melissa Murfin who joins our physician assistant studies program as Clinical Associate Professor.

Dr. Murfin earned her Doctor of Pharmacy degree and Master of Physician Assistant Studies degrees concurrently in a dual degree program at the University of Florida. She has worked primarily as a PA in endocrinology and internal medicine and is a board-certified ambulatory care pharmacist.
