Biography
Dr Jason Talevski is clinical health services researcher with over 10 years of research experience in the fields of healthy ageing, consumer-based research, social epidemiology, and virtual care.
After graduating from La Trobe University in 2012, Jason worked as a Research Assistant at Monash University in the fields of falls/fracture prevention & musculoskeletal health (2012-2017). In this role, he assisted in the design, implementation, and analysis of large-scale NHMRC-funded RCTs including the ASPREE-Fracture sub-study, the 6-PACK trial & the RESPOND trial. From 2016-2017, he was concurrently the database manager of an international clinical registry - the Prostate Cancer Outcomes Registry Australia & New Zealand (PCOR-ANZ) - where he managed the development and functioning of the registry. In 2018, Jason received a NHMRC Postgraduate Scholarship and began his PhD at the University of Melbourne. His PhD project aimed to develop health care pathways that optimize recovery of quality of life following fragility fracture in older people. In this project Jason led an international collaboration across 11 different countries. Following his PhD, Jason was awarded a highly competitive Alfred-Deakin Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at Deakin University to continue his program of research by co-designing a post-fracture care pathway to improve osteoporosis diagnosis and fracture treatment/management in the primary care setting. In May 2023, he joined Northern Health as a Senior Research Fellow in the Victorian Virtual Emergency Department (VVED). His role is to determine the quality, safety, and efficacy of the VVED model of care. Jason is currently a Research Fellow for the Consumer and Community Connection Committee (CONNECT) within the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Research Centre (ANZIC-RC) at Monash University.
Jason has published >40 peer-reviewed papers (>60% as first or senior author), 3 book chapters and 6 industry-commissioned reports; presented at >60 international/national conferences; received >$4 million in research grants and scholarships; and has been awarded 15 competitive awards for his contributions to scientific research.
