Dr. Hurt graduated from Sweet Briar College and received her M.D. from the University of Virginia School of Medicine, where she also completed her internship, residency, and fellowship. She is the author or co-author of dozens of professional papers focusing primarily on gestational drug use and high risk infants as well as underserved children and the precursors to drug use in youth. U.S. News has named Dr. Hurt among the top 1% of neonatologists in the nation.
