Business Barbados - 2023 Edition

Ross University School of Medicine For more than 40 years, Ross University School of Medicine (RUSM), an Adtalem Global Education institution, has been expanding access and opportunity to students on the path to becoming skilled physicians. RUSM and its students are determined to make an impact in global communities, a mission that begins at its campus in Bridgetown. RUSM has a unique story to tell because we believe that not everyone has the same opportunities in life and those differences have historically precluded certain aspiring physicians from attending medical school. We exist because there are unmet healthcare needs in communities we care about. Often, those best positioned to fill them are not afforded the opportunity to do so. With over 15,000 alumni, RUSM opens doors to higher education for underrepresented student populations. The majority of our students come from the US and increasingly Canada, as well as other parts of the world, supporting educational tourism in Barbados. We offer Helping Diversify the Medical Profession and Supporting the Health and Well-being of Barbados a medical degree to students who have already earned a bachelor’s degree or higher. To ensure students are prepared to handle the challenges that come with a medical career, faculty and staff meet students where they are, providing them with tailored support throughout their medical education. What makes RUSM stand out from other medical schools is our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion, end-to- end student support, including Adtalem’s Medical Education Readiness Program, BUSINESS BARBADOS 2023 88 R O S S U N I V E R S I T Y S C H O O L O F M E D I C I N E
