My qualifications include a Master of Medicine (Skin Cancer) with Distinction and a Dean’s Commendation for Academic Excellence from the University of Queensland, an Advanced Certificate of Dermoscopy with Distinction and an Advanced Certificate of Skin Cancer Medicine and Surgery from the Skin Cancer College Australasia.
I have completed complex skin cancer surgery training under the supervision of two specialist cutaneous oncology surgeons at North Shore Hospital and have demonstrated competency in the assessment and surgical management of complex skin cancer lesions, including complex skin cancer excisions, reconstruction using local flaps, reconstruction using skin grafts, appropriate wound closure, and reconstruction techniques.
