Damien is completing his final year of Endocrinology training within the Department of Diabetes and Endocrinology at the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Victoria. He has come to love the science of Endocrinology, applying this knowledge in providing care to individuals, while also having plenty of opportunities for collaborative learning and educating younger doctors in training. His interests span across diabetes, obesity medicine, pituitary medicine, and bone and mineral medicine, having been involved in abstracts and publications in these subspeciality areas. Next year, he plans to commence a full time PhD in obesity medicine, with a special interest in the clinical use of glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists and incretin hormone analogues.
Outside of Endocrinology, Damien is a full-time dad and husband to his toddler son, Noah, canine son, Ollie, and wonderful wife, Jenny. He loves food and wine and sharing this with friends and family.
