Western Australia State Chair
Dr Archana Shrivathsa
I completed my medical degree at the University of Western Australia and spent my junior doctor years at Royal Perth Hospital focusing on critical care and surgical rotations before commencing anaesthesia training on the WA Rotational Training Program.
For my provisional fellowship year I completed subspecialty fellowships in Perioperative Medicine and Simulation Education at Fiona Stanley and Fremantle Hospitals before starting as a consultant anaesthetist at FSFHG.
I divide my time between the public system (Fiona Stanley and Fremantle Hospitals Group) and private practice in the Perth Metropolitan area.
