Central Maine Medical Center, used by Dartmouth and UVM, are willing and able to accept Ross students for clerkships and electives. They have an ACGME Family Practice program. They not only offer core FP but electives in just about every specialty, have a new Heart and Vascular Institute, offer free/low cost housing, free parking and meals while on duty. Lewiston, Maine is a little off the beaten track but the people are friendly, the working environment is good and, if you like lakes and mountains, it is a very cool place.

Look at their website: http://www.cmmc.org/emp-familypractice.html and/or contact your clinical advisor about the clerkship.

Hi all. I have a problem with the way Ross handles the clinicals. I know they are busy, but not that busy. I had to find all my own sites, yes, they did give me a few numbers to call.

If you need help and want to come the Chicago let me know I will pass what I have learned. My email is rosshardroad@yahoo.com.

I will make sure you are not one of the crazy kids who have been accessing our sites. If your from Ross you will be able to answer my questions about the island. And you can ask away as well. Best to you all.

[AriVederci]

Can anyone provide some insight to this new ROSS affiliate!
I would really appreciate it.
I have a Psychiatric Core rotation coming up

there isn't a thread started for Jackson Park Hospital.

Do you really have to travel to several clinical sites to complete rotations? After completing the intro in Miami, can you finish up at one site/state/city?

[Dru]

Gizmo,
I think it all depends on what you want. There are several sites that offer most or all of the core and elective rotations. There is an advantage of practicing in several different institutions, as it will make you more well-rounded. I know if you go to brooklyn, you can get your cores and electives between Kings County and Wycoff, but it might do you good to be able to go to your home state and do somthing, too. The advantage of staying in one area is that you are able to obtain a more "long-term" lease for more than 12 months, and this will lower your rent. At any rate, you need to determine what is right for you and share that with your clinical advisor, so they can plan your path WITH you. Find out early on what mode of communication your advisor prefers...some seem to gravitate to emails and some to the phone.

Anyone do any electives at Long Island College Hopital in Brooklyn? And has anyone else had a problem with getting an elective at Maimonides? I've submitted about 3 requests since last fall, and still nothing. What gives?! Thanks, guys!

Hi, I am the accepted student od Ross University School of Medicine. I just wanted to know is that true not everyone who goes Ross can do the rotation in the U.S., school might send students to England or other places. At the end the U.S. does not acknowlegde tose who did not do rotation in the U.S.. So those people are stuck outside of the U.S. I heard this from one of my friends, whose friend's son went to Ross and stuck in England.

Thanks
