The Office of Student and Professional Development
The Office of Student and Professional Development (OSPD) advises students in residency preparation, and assists graduated students by facilitating their ongoing post-graduate professional pursuits.
The team’s directors each have more than a decade of experience working with Ross students. They understand the unique and sometimes subtle nature of the medical climate as it pertains to a Ross student and the issues he or she faces. By understanding the medical and residency landscape, the OSPD identifies the advantages and challenges Ross students may face with regard to the changing nature of the medical career field and helps gear students toward designing a landscape for their future careers.
The OSPD advises students on how to best prepare to enter The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) and/or specialty matches and provides the necessary credentials for a successful application. The OSPD also provides information that can be helpful in determining the specialties that best suit a student’s academic interest and performance, and advises on interview skills, the residency application process, and successful approaches that will represent him or her best.
Serving as a liaison with ECFMG, the OSPD assures students are ECFMG-certified, a culminating validation of their education as being on the level sought in U.S. medical school curriculums. The OSPD subsequently administers all verification and state licensure documentation for graduated students.
We will assist you in preparing for:
- The NRMP Match
- Obtaining a MSPE (Medical Student Performance Evaluation)
- ECFMG Certification
- State Licensure
