He examined Richard M. Nixon for the Watergate investigation. Ross was born in Richmond, Indiana. After graduating from Richmond High School, he began his undergraduate studies at Harvard in 1942, and because of the accelerated academic program during World War II, he entered Harvard Medical School without finishing his undergraduate degree.

In a 1974 interview with The Baltimore Sun, he said, "I fell in love with this place." After completing one year of his residency at Hopkins, Ross joined the Army Medical Corps and served as a captain and chief of cardiovascular medicine with the 141st General Hospital in the Far East during the Korean War. He returned to Hopkins in 1951 and after completing a second year of medical residency, returned to Harvard to serve as a fellow in physiology from 1952 to 1953, when he again returned to Hopkins as chief medical resident.
