Congratulations to Dr Amanda Baric recognised as a Member of the Order of Australia (AM)

Dr Amanda Baric AM has been recognised in the 2024 King's Birthday Honours for her significant service to anaesthesiology, pain medicine and tertiary education.

Dr Amanda Baric is the Deputy Director of the Department of Anaesthesia and Perioperative Medicine at Northern Health and a member of the Department of Critical Care Executive Committee at the University of Melbourne.

Her involvement in medical education for students and training for anaesthetists and other health professionals came about when she realised that access to good training programs in the real world were limited and poorly resourced.

Dr Baric played a pivotal role in establishing a training program in Mongolia for medical anaesthetists, with her colleagues from Northern Health, and implementing a continuing education program. She facilitated the expansion of emergency medicine training and engaged with gynaecology colleagues to provide better maternity care in Mongolia.
