Get to know Ross Med’s state-of-the-art classroom facilities located on the historic island of Barbados.
“When I first got on island my first semester, we had that team dynamic. The collaborative environment was the biggest thing that impacted me while I was at Ross Med. Our tests are individual, but learning together doesn't have to be and even when we're in clinicals, we learned that we're always going to be a team. We're never by ourselves.”
Asha Stegall, MD '24
“Barbados is beautiful, and the only thing I would rank higher than that are the people. Everything was amazing about it. And when I came back to the United States, I was well prepared, I felt equal to everybody that I had met from multiple other med schools. It was a great experience.”
Matthew Reeves, Class of 2023
