New Sub-Forum

My understanding is that UK hospitals are ACGME, so they should be recognized as such. I don't understand how a Ross grad can be "stuck" in England. Each state in the US has their own game plan for licensure, so if you plan to do any clinical rotations in the UK, it would make sense to check with the state that you wish to be licensed in and see if it is OK. Doing a clinical in England would not prevent you from coming back to the US, but it may preclude licensure in a particular state.

Hi all!! I continue to receive positive feed-back regarding the Ross Clinical Sub-Forum. I have updated it and made some changes.

I have deleted several threads regarding sites that are no longer used by Ross. They include:
1. Nassau County Medical Center in East Meadow
2. Mary Immaculate Hospital in Far Rockaway
3. Shepherd Pratt
4. Commanche Hospital in Oklahoma

I have added the following sites, as they are now listed on the RUSM website as new clinical sites:
1. Greater Miami Health Education and Training Centers in South Miami
2. North General Hospital in New York

I accidentally had two threads for Brookdale in New York, so I have merged the information on the two threads to form one.

Please DO continue to post information on the various sites including:
* which core or elective you completed at the site
* your opinion of the site and experience
* typical hours and amount of shift rotation &/or on-call requirements
* suggestions for safe places to live near the individual site

DO NOT start threads regarding clinical sites on the general Ross Forum, or they will be locked and linked to the sub-forum. Preserving posts about clinical sites on the sub-forum prevents your important information from being buried or lost.

DO NOT post useless or unrelated information or questions, such as "how do I transfer to Ross?" If you have rental leads or household goods to sell, please use the Ross Classified Sub-Forum.

Thanks for your continued understanding and support! Best of luck as you search for and complete your clinical clerkships.

DRU-I know I am posting in the wrong thread but I am sort of new to this. I am wondering when one completes a clinical packet, how far does the background check go back? I have a misdemeanor that occured over ten years ago and am concerned about it. All responses will me most appreciated. Respectfully, potential medical applicant(pma)

Can we start a discussion that brings together in one place, your votes on which rotations are the best for their respective disciplines ?

This dicussion should only be about why you thought their quality of education and/or experience was among the best that Ross can offer.

This dicussion should not be about complaining about bad rotations. There's plenty of room in the other threads for that. Only talk about the ones you think, IYHO, is the best rotation for that subject.

This dicussion should not be about daily living details such as parking, tolls, housing, where you show up for the first day, places to eat, etc.

This discussion should try not to talk about hospitals Ross no longer has. I know that's difficult since we lose them regularly. But at least don't say "I loved my XXX rotation at Jamaica Hosp. 2 years ago because we got to do stuff that no one is allowed to do anymore such as:..."

I have started 2 test threads to vote for the best rotations. So far I put up ones for IM and Surgery.

As far as background checks, (please correct me if I am wrong), I don't think misdemenors count, especially if they were long ago.
