Dr Kerrie Lewis studied medicine at The University of Newcastle, Newcastle, Australia. After initially pursuing training in paediatric medicine she realised that surgery was truly where her interests lie. Before assuming a training position in general surgery in the Hunter New England Network she completed a post-graduate Diploma in Surgical Anatomy through Melbourne University and Melbourne University Private. Her general surgical training included a broad experience in all aspects of general surgery and some subspecialties.

After achieving her Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Dr Lewis spent the second half of 2013 as a general surgical fellow at Gosford District Hospital before taking up a position as Staff Specialist at The Maitland Hospital, New South Wales. Dr Lewis also has visiting rights to Maitland Private Hospital.
