Susan Murin, M.D., M.Sc.
Philosophy of Care
I feel fortunate to have been able to join the UC Davis faculty. I not only care for patients in my
area of specialization, but do so as a member of a talented, dynamic department that is active in
teaching and research as well as clinical care. In this setting, I know my knowledge and skills will
constantly expand, keeping me on the cutting edge of the profession and allowing me to give my
patients the best possible care.
Clinical Interests
Dr. Murin's key interests encompass smoking and the lung, deep venous thrombosis and
pulmonary embolism, heritable thrombophilias, and resource utilization, including the influence of
education on this subject matter. Her clinical projects include the effects of smoking on breast
cancer, mechanical ventilation and the efficacy of weaning protocols, and improved approaches to
pleural effusion.
