About Me:

Dr Atvars graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2009 and completed neurology training at Box Hill Hospital and the Royal Hobart Hospital. Dr Atvars subsequently undertook a fellowship in Neuroimmunology and Neurophysiology at Royal Hobart Hospital, and a fellowship in Multiple Sclerosis at Royal Melbourne Hospital and Neuro-Oncology at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
