Programme relationship evidence

The fellowship page identifies the Emory Robotic Center and Saint Joseph’s as its training sites and supervising robotic surgeons. Emory’s current robotic-surgery team names Murphy; his current institutional profile explicitly describes international surgical teaching. This is a host-teaching relationship, not proof that he is the fellowship PD.
