Vaughan studied for his MBChB at the University of Otago Medical School, Dunedin, New Zealand. He completed his New Zealand orthopaedic training and gained his Royal Australasian College of Surgeons Fellowship (FRACS) in 2008, before taking up further Orthopaedic Fellowships in hip and knee preservation and reconstruction at the University of Toronto, Canada, and the University of Zurich, Switzerland.
Vaughan has a passion for orthopaedic outreach and humanitarian work.
