His work began as a research data programmer and analyst in multiples schools at the University of Washington, including Family Medicine, Dentistry, Economics, and Health Services Research.

Previously, Mr. Ross led the Health Care Systems Research Network’s Virtual Data Warehouse (VDW) governance body. This precursor to the FDA Sentinel Common Data Model and PCORnet data model paved the way for major multi-institutional health care research, safety, and surveillance collaborations present today.
