Skin Cancer Checks and Management
Dr Thilan Walgamage is a General Practitioner (GP) with extensive surgical skills – he has undergone training over seven years in general surgery, plastic surgery and transplant surgery. Dr Walgamage was an advanced trainee in cardiothoracic surgery before he transitioned to becoming an emergency physician and GP. Dr Walgamage has since focussed on up-skilling his surgical training towards skin cancer medicine and surgery – he holds a Professional Certificate in Skin Cancer Medicine and a Professional Certificate in Skin Cancer Surgery from HealthCert – a training organisation accredited by the Skin Cancer Institute in Australia and New Zealand and recognised by the International Dermoscopy Society. He is also undertaking the Certificate in Primary Care Dermatology by Royal Australian College of General Practitioners.
