Message from Dean Carrasco
At Ross University School of Medicine, our mission goes beyond education - We are
committed to empowering aspiring physicians and enriching the communities
where they learn and grow. Medical education transforms knowledge into
meaningful action, serving diverse populations with expertise, compassion, and a
deep sense of purpose.
RUSM has a proud tradition of investing in our students, faculty, and the
communities that support clinical training. As we expand our efforts, we are
deepening our partnerships with regional health systems to ensure students receive
exceptional clinical experiences and become an integral part of the communities
they serve. By fostering these meaningful connections, we are shaping a generation
of physicians who are prepared to excel and committed to improving healthcare
access where it is needed most.
The future of medicine depends on skilled, compassionate physicians who
recognize their role beyond hospitals and clinics - as catalysts for strengthening
healthcare systems and advancing care for diverse populations.
We are proud to stand alongside our clinical partners to nurture the next generation
Alex Carrasco of doctors - physicians who will lead with expertise, compassion, and a lasting
