Waverley Private Hospital would like to introduce Dr Jodi Keane, obstetrician, and gynaecologist. Jodi’s primary medical degree was awarded by the University of Melbourne in 2007 where she was the top ranking student in each year, top ranking graduate and included multiple prizes and awards in obstetrics, gynaecology and medicine.

She also has additional qualification and clinical experience as a physiotherapist, a background in science and a masters degree in health management/public health, as well as a qualification in ultrasound assessment giving her a broad range of other perspectives on health and healthcare and the ability to assess and monitor foetal growth and wellbeing.

Jodi was accepted into FRANZCOG training on first application and trained through Monash Health with a broad range of exposure including generalist and subspecialty gynaecology and gynaecological problems throughout the age-span, and extensive tertiary and higher risk obstetrics managing twins, diabetic pregnancies, maternal medical disorders, and foetal growth restriction. This gives Jodi the skillset for more complex vaginal births including twins, VBAC and vaginal breech. Jodi is passionate about
woman centred care and a supported birth experience no matter what the mode and has an interest in gentle caesarean with a current project in immediate skin-to-skin in progress.

Jodi has public appointments through Monash Health, Latrobe Regional Hospital and Wonthaggi/Cowes, giving unique access for elective surgery in south-east Melbourne and Gippsland for public patients regardless of site they are seen.

Jodi is heavily involved in medical student teaching through Monash University where she holds two teaching appointments as well as appointments with the Australian Medical Council, and has first-authored a book for junior doctors in the field of obstetrics with a gynaecology book in progress.

Jodi is passionate about providing quality care that is close to home, woman centred and best evidence based.
