Your MD Journey, Your Community

Ross Med believes fostering a diverse physician pipeline begins at home. We want you to return your communities, to the very people who inspired you to be physicians, and to be part of the solution of providing access to quality health care.

Our Partner Hospitals

Ross Med provides early hands-on and community service opportunities at our campus in Barbados. We are expanding this model to key communities in the U.S. where many of our students complete clinical studies.

To achieve this, Ross Med has partnered with five hospitals located in regions across the U.S. to create a pipeline of diverse physicians of the community for the community.

  • California Hospital Medical Center, Los Angeles, California
  • Center for Haitian Studies, Miami, Florida
  • Mt. Sinai Hospital, Chicago, Illinois
  • Trinity Hospital, Pontiac, Michigan
  • St. John’s Episcopal Hospital, Queens, New York

We support communities by nurturing their aspiring physicians through the basic sciences and, then sending them home for clinical training. When this happens, these students are more likely to choose a local residency and remain in their communities to practice medicine.

*There is a limited number of guaranteed spots available at each site per term, and Ross Med cannot guarantee that all eligible students will be placed at the designated site in their home area. In addition to applying to Ross Med, being accepted, and paying the seat deposit before guaranteed clerkship seats are filled, students must meet all eligibility requirements listed below. Ross Med offers three start dates per year in January, May, and September. New seats will become available for each start. An applicant may have the option to choose a later start if spots have been filled.

Retention of a guaranteed clerkship seat requires students to successfully complete the medical sciences curriculum and pass the USMLE Step 1 exam.
