Todd W. Murphy, M.D.

As the primary physician of WT&SCCA, Dr. Murphy brings with him some of the most thorough and up-to-date training available:

• Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from Oklahoma State University

• Doctor of Medicine from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine

• General Surgery residency at the University of Kansas School of Medicine - Wichita

• Fellowship in Trauma Surgery from Emory University School of Medicine/Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia

• Fellowship in Surgical Critical Care from Emory University School of Medicine/Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia

• Board Certified in General Surgery by the American Board of Surgery

• Board Certified in Surgical Critical Care by the American Board of Surgery

Why seek fellowship training?

Although there is no Board Certification available for the subspecialty of Trauma Surgery, Dr. Murphy sought additional training to further his experience, knowledge, and skills in the care of the critically ill and severely injured patient. 

Fellowship in Trauma Surgery.  During this fellowship Dr. Murphy trained under the supervision of Drs. David V. Feliciano and Grace S. Rozycki and focused on the rapid evaluation and surgical treatment of thousands of critically injured adult and pediatric patients.  Drs. Feliciano and Rozycki are nationally and internationally renowned for their leadership and advancement of the fields of trauma surgery, surgical critical care, and surgical education.  Their contributions to the scholarly literature within these disciplines are unparalleled.

Fellowship in Surgical Critical Care.  During this fellowship, also under the direction of Drs. Feliciano and Rozycki, Dr. Murphy focused on the medical and interventional treatment of thousands of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).  Completion of this fellowship and passing the subspecialty exam led to Board Certification in Surgical Critical Care by the American Board of Surgery.

Why choose a surgeon Board Certified by the American Board of Surgery (ABS)?

Certification is a voluntary process meant to recognize individuals who have met a defined standard of education, training and knowledge in surgery. Board certification is different from having medical licensure, which is required by law for an individual to practice medicine.

Cumulatively, over 66,000 surgeons have achieved certified status from the ABS in General Surgery since its founding in 1937.  Only about 3,400, however, have successfully sought and are currently subspecialty certified in Surgical Critical Care.
