Following completion of basic physician training in Wellington in 2009 he decided to undertake advanced training in both Clinical Immunology and Immunopathology in New Zealand and in Sydney, Australia. This provided experience in allergy as well as training in autoimmunity and the management of immunosuppressive medications, care of patients with reduced immunity including HIV and pathology (laboratory medicine) which led to an additional specialist qualification (FRCPA).
