One of the biggest truths our healthcare system has to face today is the aging population and who better to advocate for older adults than Dr. Samir Sinha, Canada’s “most compelling voice for the elderly” as per Maclean’s magazine. Dr. Sinha was appointed by the Government of Ontario as the expert lead on Ontario’s Seniors Strategy in 2012, and he is now in the process of developing a National Seniors Strategy. Dr. Sinha currently works as the Director of Geriatrics of the Sinai Health System and the University Health Network in Toronto and the Peter and Shelagh Godsoe Chair in Geriatrics at Mount Sinai Hospital. After completing his MD from the University of Western Ontario, Dr. Sinha was awarded the Rhodes Scholar distinction, following which he obtained his Masters in Medical History and Doctorate in Sociology at the University of Oxford’s Institute of Ageing. He then pursued his postgraduate training in Internal Medicine at the University of Toronto and in Geriatrics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In 2014, Dr. Sinha was listed as one of Canada’s 50 most influential people by Canada’s Maclean’s Magazine. Without a doubt, Dr. Sinha has extensive knowledge and experience with this topic and his expert opinion is one you do not want to miss hearing at UOHS 2019!
