Life in Barbados

Find Purpose in Paradise

With beautiful Barbados as a backdrop, Ross medical school's dedicated students are driven to make an undeniable impact where it’s needed most.

Student Life in Barbados

I definitely advocate for any student who, for whatever reason, is being rejected from US MD schools or US DO schools. Ross Med is going to provide that opportunity to obtain your MD degree. There’s a bunch of Caribbean med students who have rotated and became residents, and they have paved the way for future residents.”
