Most recently she received the prestigious Brown Craig Travelling Scholarship from the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. This scholarship has enabled Tarana to gain further training in Robotic Gynaecological Surgeries in managing complex endometriosis and large uterine fibroids. In New York, Tarana worked with two of the world’s most renowned experts in Robotic Gynaecology- Professor Arnold Advincula at Columbia and Associate Professor Kathy Huang at NYU Langone Health. As part of this travel fellowship, she visited France where she worked with another reputed international endometriosis expert, Professor Horace Roman at the Tivoli-Ducos Clinic in Bordeaux and gained an in-depth understanding of how to optimise care for women suffering from chronic pelvic pain secondary to severe endometriosis.
