Dr Tracie Gleisner 

MBBS, FRANZCR

Tracie grew up in regional Victoria on a dairy farm where she learnt the value of hard work.

She undertook her undergraduate studies in medicine at the University of Melbourne and the Royal Melbourne Hospital, prior to gaining entry into the Radiation Oncology training program at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre where she qualified (2006) and continued to serve as a Radiation Oncologist at the Bendigo site.

She has remained dedicated to offering exceptional and empathetic care to regional patients in Bendigo, Warrnambool, Ballarat and now in Geelong.  She has remained somewhat a generalist, but has expertise in the areas of lung cancer, CNS, Lower GI, and breast cancer.

She was the site director for a number of years at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Bendigo site and one of the highlights was the building and establishment of the brand new Bendigo Hospital with tireless work to have that service built as a combined and fully integrated multidisciplinary cancer service.
