History

Dr Sugito graduated from the University of New England/University of Newcastle Joint Medical Program in 2014 and completed a Master of Public Health from the University of Newcastle in 2020. He obtained his FRACP in 2020 after completing basic physician training and advanced training in Cardiology at the John Hunter Hospital. 

He then moved to Melbourne to complete a non-invasive cardiac imaging fellowship at Monash Heart. This included dedicated training on advanced echocardiography techniques such as contrast and 3-D echocardiography, stress echocardiography, transoesophageal echocardiography (including peri-procedural TOE for percutaneous structural interventions such as MitraClip, left atrial appendage closure device implantation, and PFO/ASD closure), and advanced cardiac CT interpretation. Dr Sugito is a level B CTCA accredited specialist.

Dr Sugito is a conjoint lecturer at the University of Newcastle and has public hospital appointments at The Maitland and John Hunter Hospitals, where he supervises and teaches undergraduate medical students and post graduate junior doctors. He is an active researcher and has contributed to many cardiovascular research projects, collaborating on local, national and international studies, ranging from basic science investigations to multi-centre pharmacological clinical trials.
