In 1949 he entered the Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo qualifying with a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery and Doctor of Medicine.

T. de Silva, W. A. S. de Silva, and J. B. Peiris until his retirement in 1990. He trained many leading physicians such as the gastroenterologist Janaka de Silva.[5] and endocrinologist Devaka Fernando.
