Prior to private practice, Dr. Yip was a Respiratory Physician and Intensivist in the Division of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, National University Hospital (NUH), Singapore. He also served as the Clinical Director of the Medical Intensive Care Unit at NUH from 2013 to 2019. Dr. Yip graduated from the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2001.

In 2012, the NUH awarded him the Academic Medicine Development Award (Individual) to continue his interest in critical care. He spent a year at The Alfred Hospital in Melbourne, where he served as an honorary member in the Intensive Care Unit. When he returned to NUH, Dr. Yip devoted equal amounts of his clinical time to respiratory medicine and critical care medicine. During his tenure as Clinical Director of the Medical Intensive Care Unit, he oversaw a wide range of quality improvement projects at NUH. In 2015, NUH again awarded him the Academic Medicine Development (Team) Award, where he brought his team to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, to learn from world leaders in early mobilization in the Intensive Care Unit. He implemented a similar early mobilization project at NUH, which led to better functional patient outcomes after critical illness. Dr. Yip also enjoys educating the next generation of physicians. He had been involved in the education of medical students at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, NUS, and was also a senior faculty member of the National University Health System Internal Medicine Residency Program.
