She has sub-specialty interests in both Point of Care Ultrasound (gaining her Diploma of Diagnostic Ultrasound- Emergency Medicine in 2017), as well as in Early Pregnancy and is the Current Chair of the ACEM Emergency Department Ultrasound Committee. She loves working in the physical emergency department but has now developed a new passion for Emergency Telehealth and looks forward to many years of working in this field. 

Dr Andrew Dean is a passionate advocate for the benefits of telehealth in extending specialist emergency medical care to people who need our service, during stressful and critical times. He has been a practising emergency specialist doctor (FACEM) for nearly 30 years, working at St John of God Hospital Ballarat, in regional Victoria.  

In 1984 Dr Dean completed his medical degree at the University of Melbourne, and moved to Ballarat Base Hospital to undertake post-graduate training.  He worked briefly in general practice also, and achieved his Fellowship of the Australasian College for Emergency Medicine in 1992.  Dr Dean has been involved with leadership in clinical, administrative and educational roles since then, and is actively involved teaching medical students in his Emergency Department whenever he works.  His areas of interest include risk management, clinical simulation, team building in critical care areas, and personal resilience and well being when working in stressful healthcare environments.  His passion for medicine extends into educating co-workers about a holistic approach to their practice of emergency medical care.  

In 2017, Dr Andrew Dean published a book titled ‘Moving Light: Meditation Journeys’ which encourages the use of meditation on a daily basis to achieve inner mind and body balance. It is through his dedication to strengthening the inner self, that he has been able to combine his clinical skills with an intuitive awareness of the patient’s needs. 

Dr Sue Ieraci studied a medical degree at the University of Sydney, graduating in 1983.

Her first consultant position was in Vancouver, Canada, before returning to continue her specialist career in Australia.  

Dr Ieraci thoroughly enjoys conversing with people and throughout her medical career she has actively participated in writing and vocalising her passion for patient-centred care. She has contributed to the Textbook of Adult Emergency Medicine, 4th Edition (Jelinek ed.) and writes for The Medical Journal of Australia’s blog site, MJA Insight. 

After 35 years in public hospital medicine, Dr Ieraci discovered telemedicine with My Emergency Doctor and hasn’t looked back. She is often commended on her ability to deconstruct complex medical knowledge and put it in context for patients to have them instantly understand. Her satisfaction in her role as a FACEM is reflected in the many meaningful conversations Dr Ieraci enjoys in her telemedicine work – from joking with jovial seniors to sharing frank end-of-life discussions with families, and supporting other clinicians in remote settings. Her wealth of experience is now distilled to provide a service she has endless curiosity and passion in delivering.
