| Summary: | Academic administrator and osteopathic physician Dr. Barbara Ross-Lee was born in Detroit, Michigan on June 1, 1942. Unlike her sister, entertainer Diana Ross, she studied biology and chemistry at Wayne State University and then attended Michigan State University's College of Osteopathic Medicine. After graduation, she opened a family practice in Detroit. Ross-Lee left private practice and became a professor at Michigan State. In 1992, Ross-Lee became associate dean for health policy in the College of Osteopathic Medicine, and in 1993, she was named Dean of Ohio University's College of Osteopathic Medicine. She was the first African American female to be dean of a medical school and one of only a handful of female deans in the country. After her career in Ohio, Ross-Lee moved to the New York Institute of Technology and became Dean of the school's College of Osteopathic Medicine. She lectured extensively and published more than thirty scholarly articles.
