Dr Vinny Karunasekera

I grew up in Ilam and have strong ties to our community.
I studied at Otago University, and completed my medical training in both Otago and Christchurch
medical schools. I have also obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in Child Health.
Coming from a medical family, I consider GP to be very much in my blood. My mother and wife
are both GPs in Christchurch.
I have a passion for teaching and have previously tutored at Otago University.
I enjoy tramping, swimming and reading. I am also a (self-proclaimed) chef, with my specialties
being a lovely roast leg of lamb and a smoked chicken.
