Your pathway to licensure and practice medicine in the U.S.
Spend two years studying Medical Sciences on the island of Barbados, followed by access to clinical training opportunities at hospitals and health systems in the United States.
You will complete your five-semester Medical Sciences curriculum comprised of classroom learning and early hands-on experiences on our Barbados campus. Modeled after U.S. curricula, the program is designed to help you understand and address health and disease holistically.
The successful completion of our Medical Sciences curriculum is followed by two years of Clinical Education at one or more of our affiliate hospitals in the U.S. During this time, you will participate with your affiliate school’s students in rotations, while remaining enrolled and graduating from Ross Med.
Ross Med offers opportunities for students to transfer into RUSM’s clinical curriculum. We can provide the convenience of single-location clinical tracks where you can remain in a single geographic location for the duration of your clinical clerkship rotations.
Our global campus provides dynamic educational experiences and diverse learning opportunities for students from all backgrounds to develop their medical skills. Our campus facilities provide a safe, comfortable learning environment, with all of the amenities you’d find at home.
If you have completed your undergraduate studies in a country that has an educational system different from that of the United States or Canada, you will be evaluated on your merits but a completed pre-medical curriculum comparable to that completed by U.S. and Canadian students is one of the med school prerequisites for admission. Ross Med prerequisite courses must have been completed within 10 years of the desired semester start date. Not sure if your previous coursework meets the requirements?
