June 23, 2008 – (Edison, N.J.) – Ross University School of Medicine is pleased to announce it will add a number of new core clinical rotations and electives to its growing roster of affiliates across the country. The new core spots will be located at Cleveland Clinic Florida in Weston, Florida, Leonard J. Chabert Hospital in Houma, Louisiana, and Genesis Family Medicine in Davenport, Iowa.

The new spots at Chabert Hospital will include core rotations in medicine, sur gery, pediatrics, family medicine and obstetrics/gynecology as well as nearly 50 fourth year electives. Cleveland Clinic Florida will offer internal medicine core rotations, and Genesis Family Medicine will offer family medicine core rotations.

“We are very excited to continue to expand our offerings to students in a number of important regional markets across the country, giving many the opportunity to be closer to home while embarking on this important phase of their education as doctors,” said Dr. Joseph Chu, dean of clinical sciences at Ross University.

These spots are the latest in a series of new clinical rotation positions Ross University has announced in recent months, which als o include: Synergy Medical in Saginaw, Michigan; Sinai-Grace Hospital in Detroit; Saint Anthony Hospital in Chicago; Bronx Lebanon Hospital and Caritas Health Care Planning’s Mary Immaculate and St. John’s Queens Hospitals in New York City; Harbor Hospital Center in Baltimore; and Grant Medical Center in Columbus, Ohio.

When SMU tuitions go from 10K to 17K per semester, ... we'll have what they have. ... but for the meanwhile, I dont really blame them...seriously.

Never. It's hard enough for our school to communicate properly with the hospitals which we rotate at, I am just happy we still have most of those sites..

keeping my fingers crossed for a letter like that, but I don't think its likely.

Thanks for the post.. 1 more reason to transfer to Ross??

well in the end the SGU MD is worth way more than SMU. We cant settle. We deserve much more. Even if we have it all. we still deserve more.

It's amazing how many residency programs will be active in seeking out SGU grads but not let any other IMG into their program. SGU has phenominal residency placements.

But why are there so many complaints on Ross' forum about rotations?

Ive been with SMU almost 3.5 years and have never received an email that was warm and fuzzy. Most of the emails I have gotten over the years are complete bombs around exam time.

Ross and SGU ponies up the dough and thus they get the rotations. The rest are left with the scraps.

Why is this thread so negative? Lets all hope that clinical spots don't run dry when its our turn, but there's no need to shiz all over SMU for something that Ross is doing. We have all been in undergrad, and we all know that there is alot to be said for the "Brand Name".

I've met too many d-bags who went to brand name schools, and have killer jobs just because they have a brand name diploma, while there are others who worked twice as hard and are twice as smart, but will never get the same recognition or respect. Thats the dilemma of the brand name. Its great when you can afford it, and sometimes it sucks when you can't.

Take home message:

Ross = It sucks that Ross is better at some things, but its not good at everything and its been around 30+ yrs. ;)

SGU = great at all things, been around 30+ yrs and its only now getting respect. The current chief resident at Georgetown U is an SGU grad and everyone knows that he was a Carib grad.

SMU = got next....she's on her way :D

I love the "D-Bags" comment. I went to a Brand name school for my post-bac and was surrounded by aforementioned D-Bags...
