About Magnus
Associate Professor Magnus Halland is an Honorary Associate Professor in the School of Medicine and Public Health at the University of Newcastle, Australia. Born in Norway, he commenced his medical studies at the University of Newcastle in 2000, obtaining a Bachelor of Medicine (BMed), Bachelor of Medical Science (BMedSci) with honours, and Master of Public Health (MPH). He remained in Newcastle for 13 years before moving to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where he completed gastroenterology fellowships (GIED ’14), an advanced fellowship in esophageal and motility disorders (GIMO ’15), and his PhD. At Mayo, he served as a Consultant Physician and Associate Professor of Medicine, earning the Teacher of the Year award from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Halland returned to Newcastle in 2022, now balancing clinical gastroenterology practice with teaching medical students and organizing a bi-annual gastroenterology conference.
His research focuses on oesophageal physiology, motility disorders, rumination syndrome, functional dyspepsia, diabetic dyspepsia, and Barrett’s esophagus. With over 50 peer-reviewed publications and 41 listed on PubMed, key works include "Esophageal Self-Dilation in Benign Refractory Esophageal Strictures" (2024, Digestive Diseases and Sciences), "Self-Dilation of Refractory Benign Esophageal Strictures" (2022, Am J Gastroenterol), "Effects of Diaphragmatic Breathing on the Pathophysiology and Treatment of Upright Gastroesophageal Reflux: A Randomized Controlled Trial" (2021, Am J Gastroenterol), "Rumination syndrome: when to suspect and how to treat" (2019, Curr Opin Gastroenterol), "Esophageal Motility Disorders" (2020, Am Fam Physician), and "Barrett's oesophagus: diagnosis and management" (2016, BMJ). His 2018 PhD thesis examined functional dyspepsia phenotypes, including diabetic dyspepsia and rumination syndrome. Internationally recognized for his expertise in oesophageal and motility disorders, Halland facilitates Year 3 diagnostic skills sessions in the Joint Medical Program, contributing to medical education and clinical innovation in luminal gut disorders.
