Professor Myint completed undergraduate and house officer training in Myanmar (formerly Burma) and held post graduate clinical training posts in Yorkshire, East Kent, Mersey and Eastern Deaneries. He was awarded the Stroke Association Clinical Fellowship and received clinical stroke training in Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. He was trained in Clinical Epidemiology in Cambridge and Norwich, UK. He was conferred the Doctor of Medicine (MD) in 2007 with the Thesis “Healthy Ageing: Determinants and Outcomes of Functional Health in EPIC-Norfolk”. He completed higher medical specialist training in March 2008 with accreditations in General Internal Medicine and Geriatric Medicine with sub-specialty in Stroke Medicine.
He took up his first senior academic appointment with the Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia in 2008 as Clinical Senior Lecturer in Ageing and Stroke Medicine. He moved to Scotland in August 2013 to take up the position of Clinical Chair in Medicine (Old Age) with the University of Aberdeen. He led the Aberdeen Clinical Academic Training Pathways in North of Scotland between 2016 and 2022. From December 2021, he took on the role of School EDI and Athena Swan Co-Lead.
He has held many National Level Roles in the past including Executive Committee Member of the British Association of Stroke Physicians and involved in NICE guideline development group (2010 COPD update).
He is the Founding Co-Chair of the Scottish Care of Older People (SCoOP) National Audit Programme. He sits on the Council of the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) as the Royal College of Physicians London Representative and is also a member of SIGN Sustainability Group. He is also a member of National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) Dementias Clinical Studies Portfolio Development Group. He was recently appointed as Co-Chair of Ageing & Frailty Standards Development Group (2023-2024), Healthcare Improvement Scotland.
