  • Matthew R. Morrell joins the division of Pulmonary and Critical Care as a Professor of Medicine.


    He obtained a bachelor of science in chemistry at the University of Utah, where he graduated summa cum laude. He attended the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California Los Angeles where he was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Medical Honor Society after his second year and ultimately graduated with honors. Dr. Morrell completed his internal medicine residency and his fellowship in pulmonary and critical care at Washington University in St. Louis/Barnes-Jewish Hospital. He was recruited to the University of Pittsburgh in the division of pulmonary, allergy and critical care medicine as an assistant professor and a lung transplant pulmonologist. Dr. Morrell served as the director of the pulmonary stepdown unit at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In 2016, he was appointed as the medical director of the lung transplant program and promoted to the academic rank of associate professor. His passion for expanding access to lung transplantation through organ donation led him to be appointed the medical director of the Center for Organ Recovery and Education (CORE), the region’s local organ procurement organization.


    Dr. Morrell has been involved in medical education of medical students, residents and fellows and has served as the pulmonary transplant fellowship director at the University of Pittsburgh. He is an active member of the International Society of Heart and Lung Transplantation and the American Thoracic Society. Dr. Morrell is excited to join the faculty at the University of Utah and the lung transplant program as the medical director. He hopes to promote organ donation and provide increased opportunities for lung transplantation to the people here in the mountain west. In his spare time, Dr. Morrell enjoys attending his children’s football games and swim meets. He is an avid cross country runner and pipe organ player.

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    Dr. Morrell was very good at his job. I just have a problem being told that I will do as he says or he will not care for me. I understand with a transplant that is what has to happen but I still want to have a say in my care.
