Chris Barnes is the current TS Reeve international endocrine surgery fellow at Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney. He trained in the United States with his general surgery residency in Seattle at Virginia Mason Medical Center, and earned his medical degree at Rush Medical College in Chicago. He is looking forward to bringing what he has learned in Australia back to the US to provide safe, specialized endocrine surgical care to patients in western Washington state, an area with limited access to endocrine surgeons.
