Victoria Murray

I am a third-year student at the Rowan-Virtua School of Osteopathic Medicine. I was born in Hong Kong and grew up in San Diego, Calif. I attended Johns Hopkins University for a bachelor's degree in biology, during which time I volunteered in the hospital in the HIV psychiatry and emergency departments. I then worked at the University of Maryland Medical Center on developing an HIV vaccine at the Institute of Human Virology and volunteered at Shock Trauma and the Evelyn Jordan Clinic.  

I pursued a master's degree in health science at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health while working at Hopkins Center for AIDS Research in community addiction medicine and point-of-care HIV and hepatitis C testing and mobile health applications. After graduation, I worked in residential substance use disorder and mental health programs and a health tech startup before joining the UCSF HIV, ID, and Global Medicine department as a research assistant, and ultimately attending medical school at Rowan.  

Learning about the health disparities on the Eastern Shore while I was in Baltimore led me to return to Maryland for my clinical education. I hope to expand mentorship programs to pre-health students on the Shore. 

My passions lie in neuropsychiatry and neuro-infectious disease, although I continue to be involved in the health tech space. In my free time, I enjoy attending the Maryland Renaissance Faire, playing the clarinet, and knitting.
