He was awarded his Fellowship of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (FRACS) in1983, before moving to England for three years to participate in research and study, and practise varicose vein treatments at St Mary's Hospital, London. During this time, he delivered several papers on the subject of varicose vein problems and was awarded his Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England (FRCS) in 1984.
Upon returning to Sydney in late 1985, he commenced in private practise as a surgeon with a strong emphasis on the diagnosis and treatment of varicose veins and venous disease. In 1988, Dr Malouf was elected as the secretary of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Phlebology, Australia's oldest venous society, and was subsequently elected President in 2000, a position which he retains to this day.
From 1992 to 1997, Dr Malouf was involved in the clinical trial to bring Australia and New Zealand a new solution, Aethoxysklerol, to treat varicose veins using injections. He has attended numerous International Congresses of Phlebology as both a faculty member/speaker and an executive in countries such as France, Germany, the USA, Italy, Greece, New Zealand, England, India, China, Argentina, Brazil, Portugal, Japan and Turkey. He continues this attendance at international vein meetings to bring back to Australia the latest ideas and treatment methods that will benefit Australian patients. From 2005 to 2009, Dr Malouf held the position of International Vice-President of the Union Internationale de Phlebologie (UIP) – the world body of phlebological societies and colleges from over 50 participating countries.
This international training and expertise has instilled in Dr Malouf a well-rounded and broad-minded approach. His practice thrives on word-of-mouth referrals from both General Practitioners and patients who are very satisfied with their results. Dr Malouf remains active in research, regularly presenting his findings at national and international conferences, as well as teaching medical students and surgical trainees at local venous workshops.
