He has earned Medical degree from the Faculty of Medicine, Ljubljana in 2008 and started a medical internship program at the University Medical Center in Ljubljana right after. At the moment he is a staff physician at the Gastroenterology Department and planning to apply for the Gastroenterology residency program.

He has been a columnist for Medicine Today (Medicina Danes) since 2013 and recently became a member of the editorial board of the newspaper.

While at MSJC he also organized teleconferences with heart surgeons from the Hermann Memorial Hospital in Texas Medical Center, Houston. Teleconferences were live streamed on the web page as well.
