MBBS (Hons) FANZCA DipPTEcho
Areas of specialisation
I regularly anaesthetise for a wide range of surgical specialties in both the public and private setting. My subspecialty is cardiothoracic and transplant anaesthesia. Other medical interests include high risk patients for non-cardiac surgery, upper gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary surgery, cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery, neurosurgery, orthopaedics and trauma, and obstetrics.
Background
Following completion of my undergraduate medical degree at Monash University, I completed anaesthetic training at The Alfred Hospital. I continue to work at The Alfred Hospital as a Staff Specialist Consultant Anaesthetist on both the general and cardiothoracic Anaesthesia rosters. I maintain and further my professional knowledge and skill by participation in the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists Continuing Professional Development program, and by completion of further postgraduate study. I hold a Diploma of Perioperative Transoesophageal Echocardiography from the American Society of Echocardiography and a Graduate Certificate of Clinical Teaching from Melbourne University.
