He completed his medical degree at the University of Otago in New Zealand in 1996 and began his clinical career at Royal Melbourne Hospital in 1998. After starting his anaesthesia training at Alfred Hospital in 1999, he focused on cardiothoracic anaesthesia. Bain gained his fellowship in early 2004 and worked as a cardiothoracic anaesthetist in Edinburgh before returning to the Alfred Hospital in 2005. His expertise includes complex adult cardiothoracic surgery, thoracic transplantation, and mechanical circulatory assistance. He is credentialed in perioperative transoesophageal echocardiography and actively teaches on this subject at the Alfred Hospital.
