He was the son of pioneering radiologist Frederick Clendinnen and, having completed his medical studies in 1911, joined his father's practice. It was here that Jack served his apprenticeship in radiology. He took over the practice in 1913, when Frederick died. Rejected for overseas military service in WWI because he was then one of only three radiologists in Victoria, in 1914 he followed Frederick as honorary skiagraphist at the Melbourne Hospital while at the same time shouldering an increased workload at the Caulfield military hospital. In 1929 he became the Melbourne Hospital's first radiotherapist, followed by a 20-year term as radiotherapist at Prince Henry's Hospital. A victim himself of the still-unknown hazards of X-rays (he suffered for years with radiation dermatology), Clendinnen was for 22 years a council member of the Medical Defence Association of Victoria. He also served as a Trustee of the Wilsons Promontory National Park and the Sir Colin Mackenzie Sanctuary at Healesville 1911 1911 Education - MB ChB, University of Melbourne 1911 1913 Career event - Joined the practice of Frederick Clendinnen (his father) 1913 1913 Career event - Assumed management of the practice on Frederick's death 1914 1916?
