Jodi’s primary medical degree was awarded by the University of Melbourne in 2007 where she was the top ranking student in each year, top ranking graduate and included multiple prizes and awards in obstetrics, gynaecology and medicine.

 

She also has additional qualification and clinical experience as a physiotherapist, a background in science and a masters degree in health management/public health and associate fellowship of medical administration, as well as holding a qualification in ultrasound assessment giving a broad range of other perspectives on health and healthcare and the ability to assess and monitor fetal growth and wellbeing.

 

Jodi was accepted into FRANZCOG training on first application and trained through Monash Health with a broad range of generalist and subspecialty gynaecology and gynaecological problems throughout the age-span,  and extensive tertiary and higher risk obstetrics managing twins, diabetic pregnancies, maternal medical disorders and fetal growth restriction. This gives Jodi the skillset for more complex vaginal births. Jodi is passionate about woman centered care and a supported birth experience no matter what the mode and has an interest in gentle caesarean with a project in immediate skin-to-skin in progress.

 

Jodi has public appointments through Monash Health and Wonthaggi/Cowes, giving unique access for elective surgery for public surgery in SE Melb and Gippsland regardless of site they are seen at.
