Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Hochstein is originally German, and arrived in New Zealand with her parents at the age of seven.[1][2] She became a New Zealand citizen fifty years later, having waited until dual citizenship was permitted.[2] Hochstein completed her medical degree at the University of Otago in 1982.[3]
Career
[edit | edit source]Hochstein is based in Rotorua, and is one of New Zealand's longest-serving radiologists.[4] She has been a Fellow of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists since 1990, and is a Fellowship Examiner.[4] She has been a consultant radiologist at Rotorua Hospital since 1999.[4] Between 1999 and 2016 Hochstein was clinical director of the Bay of Plenty Breastscreen Aotearoa service, and has previously been the medical advisor to the Breast Cancer Foundation.[4]
Hochstein established initiatives to improve communication between radiologists and surgeons, pathologists, oncologists, chemotherapy nurses, and practitioners, encouraging the use of a common language.[1] She set up mobile breast screening services for rural areas, and convened a conference on the use of pregnancy ultrasounds for family violence detection.[1][4]
Hochstein founded the Aratika Cancer Trust in 2011, of which she was chair until 2019, and of which she is now patron and medical advisor.[4] The trust promotes integrative care for cancer patients, which is the use of evidence-based complementary therapies alongside medical treatment. The trust also runs workshops, support programmes and retreats for patients and their families.[4][5]
Hochstein is a Clinical Senior Lecturer in Radiology at the University of Auckland, and has received fifteen 'best guest lecturer' awards.[6][4] In 2024 she took a temporary position based in London in order to provide out-of-hours radiology services to hospitals in New Zealand and Australia.[1]
