Facts and Figures

Big reach. Bigger impact where it matters most.

Without International Medical Graduates (IMGs*), U.S. healthcare doesn’t function. Nearly 1 in 4 of all doctors practicing in the U.S. completed their medical education in another country. At Ross Med, we prepare physicians who are ready for the realities of medicine and ready to serve the communities that need them most.

Potential Beyond Numbers

We don’t see scores. We see doctors.

Built Like a U.S. Med School with USMLE Outcomes that Compare

Ross Med offers a U.S. modeled curriculum built for real world medicine. Not an alternative curriculum. The U.S. standard—delivered.

And like U.S. MD schools, Ross Med prepares students for key milestones—where progression closely aligns with performance on USMLE Step 1 and Step 2.
 

Progression is intentional. Mastery is cumulative.

Where Potential Meets a Proven Path

Ross Med sees potential others miss—broadening access to medical education, welcoming students across a wider range of MCAT scores, and offering multiple pathways into our MD program.

Different starting points. Same destination: MD. Wherever you begin—online or on campus—you’ll build the skills and confidence to succeed in medical school and beyond. This is your launchpad.

Ross Med fosters a future-focused learning environment that blends a tech forward campus, hands-on experiences, and personalized support to enhance your learning and prepare you for the evolving healthcare landscape.

I truly believe if I didn't go to Ross Med, I probably would have a different career path. I think the fact that they were willing to give me the opportunity to get an education and foster my overall career goal is the reason why I became a physician today. Because being turned down initially from going to med school, I didn't even think it was possible."-

First-Time Residency Attainment Rate  (2024–2025)****

Ross Med students exceed U.S. IMG and non-U.S. IMG averages in securing PGY-1 positions. Our rate reflects a system built for readiness.

* Comparison using university and AAMC data. Data is based on students who matriculated between 2020-2022 and sat for the USMLE Step 1. Not all matriculates sat for the USMLE Step 1 exam. Students must successfully matriculate, complete the Medical Sciences curriculum and pass a school approved Medical Sciences Comprehensive Exam.


**First-time pass rate is the number of students passing the USMLE Step 1 exam on the first attempt divided by the number of students whose first attempt was in 2020-2024. In order to sit for the USMLE Step 1 exam students must successfully complete the Medical Sciences curriculum.

***First-time pass rate is the number of students passing the USMLE Step 2 CK exam on the first attempt divided by the number of students whose first attempt was in 2020-2024. In order to sit for the exam students must earn an acceptable score on the NBME CCSE as listed in the catalog.


****First-time residency attainment rate is the percent of students attaining a 2025-26 residency position out of all graduates or expected graduates in 2024-25 who were active applicants in the 2025 NRMP match or who attained a residency position outside the NRMP match. IMG PGY-1 data supplied by NRMP for 2025. 

Finding Ross Med was like finding gold. Even before I arrived, I was impressed. The match rates, the clinical rotation opportunities in the United States—and even in Canada and the UK—stood out to me. It made me feel confident that this was a real opportunity to pursue medicine.

Easing the Physician Shortage Burden

The U.S. continues to face a significant physician shortage, with projections from the Association of American Medical Colleges estimating a gap of up to 124,000 doctors by 2034. Ross Med plays a meaningful role in addressing this need by expanding access to medical education, strengthening clinical partnerships, and preparing residency-ready graduates.

Since 2022, our curriculum has integrated community-focused medicine. First-semester students explore how social factors influence health outcomes and develop cultural awareness through research projects rooted in local communities.

We’re helping grow the pipeline of physicians to better serve communities across the U.S and across the globe.
