Dr John Moran

Graduated MBBS from Adelaide University in 1972. Was awarded the Renton Prize for the FFARACS - Part 1 Exam in 1975 and attained the FFARACS in 1977. Then undertook FRACP training which he completed in 1982.

After working in senior registrar positions at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Flinders Medical Center, John joined the staff at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in 1982 as a Staff Consultant.

John has been involved, as a council member of SASMOA, in the industrial affairs of salaried medical staff and currently holds a Clinical Lecturer title with the University.
