Having contracted tuberculosis while a medical student, with a consequent 5-year recuperative period, he became a radiologist at the Royal Melbourne Hospital after completing his studies. Radiology was seen as less stressful than other forms of medical practice. As Director of Radiology at the Hospital for 30 years, Hare was responsible for introducing a range of innovative diagnostic technologies, including ones that resulted in minimally invasive treatments. He introduced transfemoral cerebral angiography to Australia. His appointment to the Chair at the University of Melbourne was concurrent with his position at the Hospital. Hare was active in professional organisations, being President of the Royal Australasian College of Radiologists from 1986 to 1987 and serving on Council and College committees over many years. He played a leading role in the foundation of the Asian and Oceanian Society of Radiology, now one of the world's largest such societies, and was its inaugural President. Among his numerous publications were the highly successful textbook Clinical radiology for medical students and health practitioners (1991, 2nd ed 1999) and the equally well-received Medicolegal radiology (2007). 1951 1951 Education - MB BS, University of Melbourne 1952 1953 Career position - Resident Medical Officer, Royal Melbourne Hospital 1954 1954 Education - MD, University of Melbourne 1954 1955 Career position - Radiology Registrar, Royal Melbourne Hospital 1955 1955 Education - Diploma of Diagnostic Radiology, University of Melbourne 1955 1958 Career position - Assistant Radiologist, Royal Melbourne Hospital 1957 1957 Award - Thomas Baker (Kodak) Memorial Fellowship, College of Radiologists of Australasia 1958 1988 Career position - Director of Radiology, Royal Melbourne Hospital 1963 1963 Award - Rouse Travelling Fellowship, Fellow, College of Radiologists of Australasia 1965 1988 Career position - Foundation Edgar Rouse Professor of Radiology, University of Melbourne 1966 1972 Career position - Member of Council, College of Radiologists of Australasia 1971 1975 Career position - President, Asian and Oceanian Society of Radiology 1972 1986 Career position - Member of Council, Royal Australasian College of Radiologists 1977 1979 Career position - Assistant Dean, Faculty of Medicine, University of Melbourne 1979 1983 Career position - Chairman, Paramedical Course Advisory Committee, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology 1983 1991 Career position - Secretary (later Treasurer and Editor), Asian and Oceanian Society of Radiology 1984 1992 Career position - Chairman, Victorian Government Radiation Advisory Committee 1984 2013 Award - Honorary Member, Radiology Society of North America 1986 1987 Career position - President, Royal Australasian College of Radiologists 1987 1987 Award - Gold Medal, Royal Australasian College of Radiologists 1989 Career position - Emeritus Professor, University of Melbourne 1990 1990 Award - Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for service to medicine, particularly in the field of radiology 1994 2013 Award - Honorary Member, International Society of Radiology Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) (1960 - 1992)
