Summary

I am a Surgical Resident Medical Officer based at Flinders Medical Centre. I have a keen interest in surgery and have successfully passed the GSSE in early 2025. I am eager to advance my career with a position as a Surgical Registrar and plan to complete FRACS Surgical Training in the coming years. I have a particular interest in the care of critically ill and complex surgical patients. The opportunity to be employed as a Surgical Registrar will allow me to develop fundamental surgical skills as I continue to advance my career.
