Welcome to School of Medicine
Ross University School of Medicine is focused on imparting the knowledge, skills and values required
for you to establish a successful and satisfying career as a physician. We use a multi-pronged approach:
integration of Foundations of Medicine courses with clinical applications, dedicated faculty who are
focused on teaching and a technologically advanced campus in Dominica, West Indies.
We are concentrating on ways to integrate the clinical portion of our curriculum with the Foundations of Medicine courses. While it is already an important part of the learning experience at Ross University School of Medicine, giving students as many opportunities as possible to see and understand the connections between the two is an excellent way to enhance learning.
Ross places a strong emphasis on enhancing the science of education by continuing to apply adult learning principles. We engage students to apply their knowledge in more ways, and we encourage the use of technology to help learning. Our faculty is focused not only on their knowledge of the science of education, but also on learning new methods of teaching and new ways to reach our students. This results in a more successful education and, it is my belief, leads to a better overall education for our students.
Our campus facilities continue to be enhanced. We already have a wireless campus and extensively use multimedia capabilities to support individual learning styles. We continue to expand our facilities by adding new classroom space, indoor and outdoor study facilities and a new student life center that includes an expanded fitness center.
I welcome you to Ross University School of Medicine, and I look forward to meeting you on campus.
Sincerely,
Mary Thoesen Coleman, M.D., Ph.D.
