Following specialty training in Diagnostic Radiology and receipt of her FRCP designation, Dr. Yip became a tenured faculty member of the Uof S's College of Medicine in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology (now Medical Imaging), practicing from 1968 until her retirement in 1996. In addition to clinical practice, a significant component of Dr. Yip’s work comprised teaching undergraduate as well as postgraduate students.
