When was Ross University founded and what has been its record in producing physicians for the United States?
Ross University School of Medicine (RUSM) was founded in 1978, and 91% of its students are U.S. citizens or permanent residents preparing for medical careers in the United States. The School has graduated more than 7,700 physicians who are eligible to practice medicine in all 50 U.S. states, Canada and Puerto Rico upon successful completion of the requisite licensing examinations. Consistently, more than two-thirds of Ross graduates enter primary care, while the other third go into virtually every specialty of medicine, including transplant nephrology, invasive cardiology, plastic surgery, pulmonary medicine, neonatology, endocrinology, rheumatology, geriatric medicine, infectious diseases, and hematology/oncology.
