RossYou Day Planning Committee

We sincerely thank the RossYou Day – California Hospital Medical Center Planning Committee for their
outstanding commitment and impressive work. A heartfelt appreciation goes to Khari Pennicooke,
RUSM’s Senior Program Coordinator, Zuleima Gonzalez, and Dr. Hinke for their unwavering dedication
and efforts in supporting students. This collaboration has brought together different institutions and
individuals, all united by the common goal of enhancing academic well-being and providing support for
the next generation of physicians.

RossYou Day

At Ross University School of Medicine, we exist because there are inequities in access to medical
education and quality health care. We believe that becoming a physician includes going beyond the
classroom and clinical settings, reaching deeply and broadly into the entire community where physicians
serve. RUSM has developed community connections and support surrounding our medical science
campus in Barbados. We are ready to expand that service-focused and relationship-driven model to our
regional clinical sites where many of our students complete their clinical studies.

To that end, RUSM is increasing our investment in the health systems and communities where our
students learn. In close collaboration with key clinical sites, we are showing up as partners in
scholarship, community engagement, and wellness.

We believe that students who come from a community and return to that community for a positive
clinical training experience are more likely to choose a residency in that community and remain there as
a practicing physician. Our goal is to increase academic well-being for students who in turn become
physicians and increase access to quality health care in their communities.
