Dr Maddi Anupindi
Dr Maddi Anupindi- Co-Host ICU Primary PrepCast

Maddi is an ICU registrar at St George Hospital who has a keen interest in teaching and education. She wishes that her recollection of medical knowledge was as strong as her recollection of song lyrics or quotes from episodes of ‘The West Wing’. When she’s not thinking of the next unquestionably funny dad joke for this podcast, she enjoys cryptic crosswords, musicals and anything cheese related. She hopes that this podcast helps in some small way to lessen the torment of the ICU primary exam.

Dr Hyreihm Su – Co-Host Medspresso Podcast

Junior medical officer at SESLHD

2019 UNSW graduate BMed, BSc(Med)Hons, MD (Distinction)

I am a junior medical officer based at St George and Sutherland Hospital. As a medical student, I have enjoyed educating and mentoring junior colleagues and I wished to continue my commitment during my working years through projects such as Medspresso. In terms of my career aspirations, I hope to specialise in upper GI surgery with a view to complete my fellowship training in America. Aside from my teaching commitments, I am involved in research in bariatric surgery. 

Dr Andrew Lam – Co-Host Medspresso Podcast

Junior medical officer at SWSLD

2019 UNSW graduate BMed, BSc(Med)Hons, MD (Distinction)


Hey everyone! I’m Andrew, a junior doc based between Bankstown and Campbelltown Hospitals in New South Wales. I spent most of my time at Liverpool hospital as a student from UNSW after graduating in 2019, and have stuck to the South-West Sydney district for my JMO years. I have an interest in intensive care at the moment, but hoping to get a wide range of experience in my junior years before applying to be a critical care senior resident sometime in the future. I’ve always enjoyed teaching fellow junior students back when I was in uni and thought Medspresso would be a great way to carry this trend on. Hope you enjoy the series!
