She then went on to complete a Masters of Science in Public Health Research at the University of Edinburgh and worked in research and policy development with a focus on dementia care in Scotland, UK.
Dr. Ellis returned to medical school in England at Warwick University prior to returning to Canada to complete her emergency medicine residency at the University of Ottawa and a Fellowship in Geriatric Emergency Medicine at the University of Toronto.
