Dr. Sean Murphy, the Chief Medical Officer of the Tucson ER and Hospital, is an emergency physician who completed his residency at the University of Arizona back in 2016.
"...the psychological phenomena obviously, you identify your sense of self as associated with your work or your place of work. And that, therefore, there's a sense of ownership and pride. And I really think that could easily be achieved, I think, at some of these bigger medical centers, if that was made a priority, and if that was integrated into the leadership and business model. ” - Dr. Sean Murphy
