Our Medical Educators
Dr Maya Luks
Medical Educator
I love the different facets of General Practice and contributing to educating current and future generations of GPs!
Dr Maya, a Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP) since 2019, leads a dedicated medical practice called Adelaide Disability Medical Services. She focuses on improving the health outcomes of those with intellectual disabilities, acquired brain injury or physical disabilities through advanced chronic disease management.
In her role with GPEx as a Medical Educator, Dr Luks takes pride in crafting exam content and offering support to fellow doctors as they prepare for their Fellowship exams. Her training across various practices in Adelaide is a testament to her deep-seated commitment to delivering all-encompassing patient care.
Her recognition extends beyond her immediate clinical responsibilities, epitomised by her achievement of the David Game Prize from the RACGP in 2018, an honour recognising excellence in the Fellowship exams. At the forefront of advocacy for healthcare accessibility, Dr Luks oversees a clinic that has been awarded grant funding to broaden cancer screening avenues for people with disabilities.
Dr Marny Royans
Medical Educator
I believe that everyone deserves compassionate, evidence-based care, whether at the most vulnerable stages of life or in preventing and managing chronic diseases. It is a privilege to support my community through tailored healthcare, and I am equally passionate about mentoring the next generation of GPs, creating and delivering engaging educational content to help shape the future of medicine.
Dr. Marny, a graduate of the University of Adelaide with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (2010), is a dedicated general practitioner and medical educator. Her areas of expertise include chronic disease prevention, lifestyle medicine, aged care, palliative care, and medical education. She combines evidence-based practice with compassionate, patient-centred care and is committed to advancing healthcare through the education and mentorship of both training and practising health professionals.
A Fellow of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (FRACGP), Dr. Royans balances her clinical work with a pivotal role at GPEx, where she impacts the future of medicine by educating aspiring General Practitioners and contributing to content for Continuing Professional Development. Her dual approach to her career, blending clinical practice with medical education, ensures her influence extends beyond individual patient care to advance the broader medical field.
