Program Overview
If you’re ready to learn the practice of medicine—the hands-on skills and knowledge needed to make a meaningful healthcare impact in the U.S., Canada or abroad—you belong at Ross Med.
The Ross Med curriculum is designed to prepare our graduates to practice in the U.S. and Canada.
Our students receive a rigorous medical education with opportunities for early hands-on clinical experiences in the Barbados community before returning to the U.S. for clinical rotations and residency.
1 First-time residency attainment rate is the percent of students attaining a 2023-24 residency position out of all graduates or expected graduates in 2022-23 who were active applicants in the 2023 NRMP match or who attained a residency position outside the NRMP match.
2 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 2017-2021. In order to sit for the USMLE Step 1 exam students must successfully complete the Medical Sciences curriculum and earn a satisfactory score on the NBME CBSE exam as listed in the student handbook.
"What Ross has that makes it so special—that other Caribbean schools don’t have—is that we have a very strong community here. When one person struggles, we all struggle; we feel what other people feel. We’re all in this together."
