Smith was born in 1963.[1] He earned his medical degree and PhD from the University of Western Ontario and earned his Royal College of Surgeons of Canada certification at Queen's University.[2]
After completing sub-specialty training in Maternal-Fetal Medicine at the University of Toronto in 1999, Smith joined the faculty of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Queen's University.[3] In 2003, he received the Premier's Research Excellence Award.[4]
In 2011, Smith began the MotHERS Program (Mothers Health Education, Research and Screening) at Kingston General Hospital.
