Dr. Ying Lu, Chief of Ophthalmology at Scarborough Health Network (SHN), has been designated as a Senior Fellow at Massey College, a prestigious postgraduate college of the University of Toronto that hosts some of the brightest Canadian and international graduates in all disciplines of research. This recognition, announced during Massey College’s High Table dinner, marks a significant milestone in Dr. Lu’s professional journey and further elevates SHN’s standing within the academic and medical communities.
The Senior Fellowship at Massey College is an esteemed honor given to nominated individuals who have demonstrated outstanding contributions to their respective fields.
Dr. Lu’s designation underscores the breadth of her expertise in ophthalmology, which spans both the medical and academic spheres, as she also serves as an assistant professor at the University of Toronto. As a Senior Fellow, Dr. Lu will join a distinguished group of scholars, professionals, and thought leaders who work collaboratively to foster intellectual growth and community.
In extending this fellowship offer, Acting Massey College Principal Jonathan Rose commended Dr. Lu for her commitment to interdisciplinary engagement, mentorship, and the exchange of ideas—qualities that Massey College and SHN value deeply. Dr. Lu is the first physician from SHN to receive this distinction, and her appointment reflects not only her individual achievements but also the recognition of SHN as a leading centre of exceptional doctors.
Dr. Lu’s participation in this community will undoubtedly enrich Massey College’s dynamic exchange of ideas, while also fostering closer ties between SHN and academic institutions.
SHN congratulates Dr. Ying Lu on this significant achievement. Our health network is honored to host such a skilled and recognized physician in our ranks, and we look forward to her continued contributions both to our community and to the wider academic landscape.
