Dr Sam Saling is a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. She completed her training at the University of New South Wales in Sydney in 2014, then undertaking her hospital training at St Vincent’s Hospital. There she worked in multiple specialties including emergency, geriatric medicine, surgery, psychiatry, and rehabilitation medicine. Dr Sam initially began training towards a dermatology career but changed to general practice in 2017. This suits her more holistic approach to medicine and she says she is never bored!
Dr Sam has a focus on women’s health, including all aspects such as reproductive and antenatal medicine, sexual health, postnatal care, menopause, and gynaecological presentations. She is an accredited Antenatal Shared Care provider in affiliation with the Royal Hospital for Women, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, and St George/Sutherland Hospitals in Sydney. She is also qualified to perform Implanon insertions and removals.
A love of paediatric and family medicine has naturally followed. From perinatal care to infant assessments and child health reviews, Dr Sam enjoys seeing all little family members. She has completed a Diploma in Child Health to solidify her knowledge of all things child related. Dr Sam thinks that her personal experience as a mum has given her the best insight into child health – more than any textbook!
Another passion of Dr Sam’s is dermatology and skin cancer management in general practice. She is has completed a Professional Certificate in Dermoscopy, which is the science of diagnosing skin cancers without performing surgical procedures such as biopsy. If taking a small sample is recommended in order to confirm a diagnosis, Dr Sam confidently performs minor surgical procedures like skin biopsies and excisions, and prides herself of achieving satisfying cosmetic results.
