Dr. Ross Upshur
Dr. Ross Upshur, Assistant Director of the Lunenfeld Tanenbaum Research Institute and Scientific Director of the Bridgepoint Collaboratory for Research and Innovation has been elected a Fellow of the Hastings Center, a prestigious bioethics research institute in New York.

Ross started his medical career as a family physician in a rural practice. His research and scholarship has focused on primary care, public health, philosophy of medicine and bioethics.
In addition to his roles at Sinai Health, Ross is a Professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and was recently awarded the Dalla Lana Chair in Clinical Public Health.
