Dr Pipin Kojodjojo graduated from St. Bartholomew’s and Royal London Hospital Medical School, University of London in 1998 and has been a member of the Royal College of Physicians since 2001.

He underwent training in cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology at St. Mary’s Hospital, Imperial College London, UK and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA.
After practising in UK and USA for 14 years, he joined National University Heart Centre Singapore (NUHCS) in 2012 where he was a Senior Consultant and Assistant Professor at the Department of Medicine, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore. During his decade long appointment at NUHCS, he was Director of Cardiology at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital between 2017 to 2021, led or participated in committees that had oversight over areas such as Telehealth, Quality Assurance, Anticoagulation Safety, Collaborative Prescribing and Outpatient Services. He is accredited by the International Board of Heart Rhythm Examiners as a Clinical Cardiac Devices Specialist and as a Fellow of the Heart Rhythm Society, American College of Cardiology and European Society of Cardiology.

He joined Asian Heart & Vascular Centre in 2022. His clinical expertise are atrial fibrillation and heart rhythm disorders in adolescents and adults and implantation of cardiac devices such as pacemakers and ICDs, catheter ablation of simple and complex arrhythmias, left atrial appendage occlusion for stroke prevention and pulmonary thrombectomy for acute pulmonary embolism.
