Born and raised in Perth, Dr Vujcich completed both his Medical (2008) and Dental (2000) degrees with Honours at the University of Western Australia. To enter speciality training, he sat the RACDS primary exam in 2001 and was awarded the (RACDS) FG Christensen prize for being the highest marked candidate in this international exam.

Dr Vujcich completed his medical internship at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital with rotations including Ear Nose and Throat surgery and Emergency Medicine. The following year involved his residency at Royal Perth Hospital with rotations in Ophthalmology, Ear Nose and Throat, Neurosurgery and Intensive Care Medicine. As with all surgical trainees in Australia, Dr Vujcich completed the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons compulsory courses for basic surgical sciences (ASSET, EMST, CCrISP and CLEAR) 

In 2007, Dr Vujcich was a visiting doctor in the department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in the Klinicka Bolnica Dubrava (Zagreb, Croatia). This was the major head and neck cancer hospital in Croatia, and run by the highly respected surgeon, Professor Miso Virag.

Dr Vujcich spent the majority of his 4 years of specialist Oral & Maxillofacial training in Western Australia at Fremantle, Royal Perth, Sir Charles Gairdner and Princess Margaret Hospitals. During this time, he gained significant experience in the management of complex facial trauma. His training also included 6 months in the Paediatric Oral & Maxillofacial unit of the Royal Childrens Hospital in Melbourne, under Professor Andrew Heggie and Dr Jocelyn Shand. 

Upon completion of specialist training, Dr Vujcich undertook an additional fellowship at the Royal Melbourne Hospital under Associate Professor Alf Nastri. This involved an emphasis on orthognathic (jaw) surgery and head and neck cancer surgery.  He then travelled to Switzerland and spent additional time at the ZMK (Bern University) to learn from global experts in the field of dental implantology. This was primarily spent with Dr Daniel Buser, a world renowned leader in the field. He also visited other European implant centres including Portugal (Malo clinic). 

Upon return to Perth, Dr Vujcich joined the team at West Perth OMS and now splits his time between private and public practice. His public roles include as a consultant surgeon at Royal Perth Hospital and Perth Childrens Hospital OMS service.  His public service includes consultant positions at Royal Perth Hospital (adult) and Perth Childrens Hospital (paediatric).  Dr Vujcich maintains a special interest in trauma, orthognathic surgery, paediatric OMS and dental implantology.
