Q&A with a Rheumatologist-Hospitalist

TR: Where do you see yourself in five to 10 years?

Dr. Murthy: Five to 10 years from now, I see myself in exactly the same roles that I’m in now—with my time divided between rheumatology clinic, hospital medicine practice, medical education efforts and education research. The percentage of time devoted to each may vary as the years roll by, but for the foreseeable future, my current time distribution is exactly what I’ve hoped for.

Michael Cammarata, MD, is an assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore.
