Dr Chad Donnelly graduated as a member of the first graduating cohort from Griffith University in 2008. He obtained his Fellowship with the RACGP in 2014. During his time at the Royal Brisbane, Prince Charles and Cairns Base Hospitals, he worked through a variety of rotations in the Physician Training Program including Rheumatology, Orthogeriatrics, General Medicine, Mental Health and Endocrinology.
