Biography

Dr Hohenberg is an academic geriatrician working at the Salus Clinic and Brellah organisations.

He was trained at the Royal Free & University College London Medical Schools (University of London) and moved to Australia in 2008. Completing training in Sydney, he became a geriatric specialist in 2016.

Mark has a strong interest in medical education including development of professional skills at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as well as curriculum development. He has completed a Master's degree in medical education through research with a qualitative project on the subject of what interns want to learn and how, during their first year of practice.

Mark's vision is to develop a strong academic geriatric multi-disciplinary specialty that is built upon excellence in research and education that translates to effective integrated clinical outcomes for patients, carers and staff within our healthcare and tertiary education systems.
