About Dr David Knight

As a student, Dr Knight completed his medical training at the University of Western Australia, undertaking his internship and junior medical training at Royal Perth Hospital. He decided early on in his career that he wished to specialise in Obstetrics and Gynaecology and commenced his training at the King Edward Memorial Hospital for Women in Perth.

Part way through his training he considered becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon, was offered a position, but after further thought continued on his career path in OBGYN. He also trained at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne and completed his training at the St George Hospital in Sydney. At this time he undertook both subspecialty training in reproductive medicine as well as a research Doctorate at the University of NSW and based at the Royal Hospital for Women when it was located in Paddington. This work was based on plant hormones and the effects these hormones may have on children and women at different stages of their reproductive career.

Throughout his career, Dr Knight has published many papers in international journals and is often invited to speak at national and international conferences. For his contributions to fertility research, Dr Knight was awarded the Fertility Society of Australia Research Medal in 2000.
