Teaching Profile

I enjoy teaching. I have been involved with teaching at various levels.

Radiology Registrars: Currently I teach both interventional and non-interventional areas of radiology to seven trainee registrars in Radiology.

Advanced training / Fellowship in Radiology: I am responsible for the introduction of advanced training / fellowship position in interventional radiology at the Canberra Hospital since 2001 (the College of Radiology has approved an accredited advanced training position in Interventional Radiology under the supervision of Dr. Robert Allen and myself). We have trained four interventional fellows, Dr. Ruben Krishnananthan, Dr. Barnbas Bako, Dr. Suresh DeSilva and and Dr. Ma’moon Hasan Al-Omari.

I am actively involved in training of advanced trainee / fellow in Musculoskeletal imaging.

I supervised and taught, the interventional section of the Master of Medicine (Imaging) - Masters Degree for Radiologists who have passed full RANZCR part II, developed by Dr. Morry Silberstein at the University of Sydney. The following Doctors were graduated in 2004 – Dr. M. Despoi, Dr. M. Guduguntla, Dr. A. Lee, Dr. M. Nawaz, Dr. P. Robertson, Dr. I. Tsou, Dr. V. Vorbyov.

Clinical Registrars: Actively involved in teaching of clinical registrars including algorithmic approaches to individual clinical problems at the Hospital.

Paramedical staff: I give regular in service teaching sessions to nurses and radiographers in the department.

Medical Community: Time to time I also organise presentations on procedures to relevant specialist and General Practitioners. For example I gave presentations on Uterine fibroid Embolisations and Vertebroplasty.

When I was working in various Hospitals in Queensland I was actively involved with teaching radiology and clinical registrars, residents, paramedical staff and Overseas Doctors preparing for Australian Medical Council exams.
