The position of research fellow in colorectal surgery has existed at RMH for over ten years with a strong record of successful completion of higher degrees (Doctorates and Masters) through the University of Melbourne.  The research methods learned in this position provide a very strong background in clinical research for the candidate's subsequent surgical career.

 

The research fellow enrols as a full-time student for either a masters or PhD degree through research at the University of Melbourne under the supervision of A/Prof Ian Hayes and Mr Dilshan Udayasiri.

 

The position also carries a component of clinical work through the colorectal surgical unit of the Royal Melbourne Hospital including attending two outpatient clinics per week, some out of hours on-call (on average one night per week) and some private assisting. These duties provide some extra income, keep the fellow connected with clinical work and maintain surgical skills.
