Dr Saravana Kumar

Welcome to my homepage. Thank you for your interest and I hope you find the information listed on this page useful. If you need any additional information, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Currently my role is equally divided between academia at the School of Health Sciences and as the deputy director and senior researcher of Centre for Allied Health Evidence, a collaborating centre of The Joanna Briggs Institute.

I am also the current NHMRC NICS-TRACsa-MAC Fellow. This Fellowship aims to improve the management of Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD) by Physiotherapists and Chiropractors.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do
