Transferring to Ross University School of Medicine

Students already enrolled in a preclinical program at another medical school who wish to transfer to RUSM may be considered for admission into Ross' first semester. Our basic sciences curriculum is taught by experienced faculty and utilizes an integrated curriculum and highly advanced technology. 

Students who have completed an allopathic preclinical curriculum may be considered for admission into Ross' clinical curriculum. RUSM provides the convenience of single-location clinical tracks where students can remain in the same geographic location for all 44 weeks. With enough seats for all of our qualified students, our clinical curriculum keeps them on schedule and prepared for residency success.

To enroll in Ross' basic sciences or clinical curricula, you’ll need to meet all general requirements for admission.

Each transfer applicant is unique, so please reach out to Transfer Admissions Advisor Angie-Lee Korkmaz, at akorkmaz@rossu.edu or call 855-MDROSSU (855-637-6778) to discuss your personal medical school situation and begin the process.
