Daniel Murphy, MD

Assistant Clinical Professor, Psychiatry

DJ grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. He decided to pursue medicine after experiences as a volunteer Spanish interpreter at a sliding-scale fee clinic in Southern Phoenix while attending college. After finishing medical school at Loyola University in Chicago, DJ returned to Arizona where he finished his residency training in family medicine at the UofA and then as an addiction medicine fellow. DJ’s desire to pursue additional expertise in addiction medicine was ultimately the result of myriad experiences over the course of his training. These experiences demonstrated the painfully persistent harm caused to vulnerable communities by frequent lack of access to necessary medical care in areas where care is most needed. The additional training the Addiction Medicine Fellowship provided enables him to better serve patients in the Tucson community, and work to close these access gaps - even if in a small way.
