Lea Merone

Biography

I graduated with honours - in the top 10% of my cohort with a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery in 2011.

Following emigration to Cairns, Australia, I completed 2 Masters degrees in Public Health and Tropical Medicine, and Health Economics. I obtained my Fellowship of The Australian Faculty of Public Health Medicine (FAFPHM) in June 2020 and subsequently worked as a Public Health Physician in sexual health.

I completed my PhD in women's health in 2022 and I am now working at Cairns hospital as the clinical lead for Voluntary Assisted Dying. I am studying for an MSt in Practical Ethics and my interests are in the ethics of clinical diagnosis and the use of Artificial Intelligence in clinical diagnosis.

I am also currently studying for my second PhD in the Philosophy of medically unexplained syndromes.
