Mr Michael Hong is a Colorectal and General Surgeon based in the West of Melbourne. He commenced his medical studies at The University of Melbourne in 2001 under the National Medicine Scholarship. After graduating with Honours, he commenced training in General Surgery at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. During his training he received the Gordon-Gordon Taylor Prize and the Clinical Committee Prize for highest marks in both the written and clinical examinations – the only surgical candidate ever to achieve this in one sitting. After being awarded his Fellowship in General Surgery, Michael underwent subspecialty training in Colorectal Surgery (ANZTBCRS). This was spent in high-volume hospitals with a strong focus on advanced laparoscopic colorectal surgery: Bankstown Hospital, Sydney and Western Health, Melbourne.
In addition to an ongoing commitment to clinical excellence, Michael has keen academic interests with numerous published articles in peer reviewed international journals which he has presented at conferences internationally. Heavily involved in teaching, including as an instructor for Early Management of Severe Trauma and Surgical Skills courses, Michael remains actively engaged in the training and examination of future doctors and surgeons. Collaboration, quality and value in healthcare are cornerstones of Michael’s surgical practice. He has undertaken GESA Recertification, which demonstrates continual delivery of high quality colonoscopy. Michael endeavours to provide every patient with a thorough assessment and a comprehensive treatment plan.
