Melinda Shiver Murphy, MD

As a pediatric hospitalist, I care for children when they are admitted to the hospital for illnesses such as fever, dehydration, seizures, asthma, well-newborn care as well as medically fragile children with complex health conditions. I enjoy spending time with parents to help them understand their child's diagnosis and working together to improve the child's health and transition them back home as soon and as safely as possible. I have the pleasure of working with wonderful medical students and pediatric residents from the University of South Florida who are rotating at Tampa General; supervising a large academic team allows me to stay current with the latest treatment recommendations.
