Boris graduated from the University of Queensland in 2010. He has worked in various states and in various roles around Australia prior to moving to Tasmania in 2014 to work in General Practice.
Boris has a passion for teaching, regularly tutoring medical students at the University of Tasmania, and supervising GP trainees. He received the RACGP Tasmanian Supervisor of the Year award in 2025.
