Soon afterwards he developed an interest in gynaecology and obstetrics, but eventually specialised in urology. Harris proved to be a great surgeon. Although proficient in successfully using the established urological techniques, he developed new procedures and designed many specialist instruments to dramatically decrease the mortality rate. Unfortunately, other surgeons around the world could not reproduce Harris's result so he failed to gain international recognition. Harry Harris was a foundation Fellow of the College of Surgeons of Australia, a member of the International Society of Urology and helped transform the Sydney Urological Society into the Urological Society of Australasia. 1906 1906 Education - Bachelor of Medicine (MB) and Master of Surgery (ChM), University of Sydney 1906 1907 Career position - Resident Medical Officer at the Sydney Hospital c. 1907 Career position - General practice in Enmore, New South Wales 1914 Career position - Honorary Urologist at the Lewisham Hospital 1914 1914 Education - Doctor of Medicine (MD), University of Sydney
