Sasha Dubrovsky enjoys many facets of his profession: doctor, researcher, teacher, and above all, he is a father of three boys. Sasha is a medical graduate from McGill University, an institution he continues to work with, helping to educate hundreds of students.

After a wealth of clinical experiences, research, improvement projects and publications, his drive to champion interdisciplinary care as well as patient safety and quality improvement has only increased. Having experienced both sides of the healthcare system as a change agent (lean six sigma, black belt) and as a parent of a child with a chronic illness, Sasha saw an opportunity to learn and grow from his experiences of being on both sides of the system. Recognized and appreciated by his peers, Sasha has always attached great importance to inspiring future generations to strive for continuous improvement and innovation. And what better way than to lead by example.

Steve Omer is a man of vision and has a range of accomplishments under his belt. He holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA) as well as a joint Bachelor of Civil Law and Bachelor of Laws (BCL/LLB) from McGill University. Before joining UP, Steve was successful in serving as president of a clothing import and distribution company.

Developing a company, guiding it towards growth and profitability are part of his expertise. When his long-time friend, Dr. Sasha Dubrovsky, proposed that he join him in redefining pediatric emergency care in Quebec, Steve did not hesitate. He chose to put his vision and especially his heart, at the service of kids and their parents, to reinvent the way pediatric emergency care is offered to the community.

Mher Barbarian graduated with honors from McGill University’s faculty of medicine, where he is now a faculty lecturer. He is an excellent teacher, a remarkable speaker and a person of heart, who pays particular attention to the notions of teamwork, collaboration and who always prioritized improving the patient experience.

Mher has evolved as a clinician in both the community and hospital settings, where Dr. Sasha Dubrovsky became his mentor and friend and they noticed the same flaws and opportunities in the system. It was by joining forces that their desire to reinvent the relationship of patients with pediatric emergencies was born.
