Professor Burgess completed his medical training at the University of Sydney and then Specialist Training in Respiratory Medicine at Concord and St Vincent’s Hospitals.
Subsequently he undertook Research Training at the University of Calgary in Canada between 1981 – 1983, and was awarded an MSc in physiology. He was then appointed to the Faculty as an Assistant Professor of Medicine in the division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, and a Consultant Physician to the Foothills Provincial General Hospital (1983 – 1985).
Upon returning to Sydney in early 1986 he was appointed as Staff Intensivist at Manly Hospital, a position that he continues to hold.
