Calum graduated from the University of Dundee in 2020 with his medical degree alongside a BMSc in Applied Orthopaedic Technology. He subsequently completed foundation training in the West of Scotland before being appointed to the East of Scotland Run-Through programme. Calum travelled to the Highlands for ST1 and returned to Tayside for his continuing training. 

In orthopaedics, his interests lie in sports injuries, joint preservation and exercise promotion.

Outside of work, Calum is a keen sportsman and still continues to play for Dundee Rugby Club. He holds over 50 caps for Scottish Touch Rugby and hopes to add to that tally.
