Clinicals at Ross University School of Medicine

http://www.rossu.edu/medical-school/academics/clinicalscience.cfm - Your clinical studies will begin with the fifth semester studies in Miami, Florida.

Semester 5
12 week-course, "Advanced Introduction to Clinical Medicine." This course incorporates previously acquired knowledge and skills, and augments them to create a bridge to further learning. It is intended to prepare students for a successful transition to the clinical clerkships through additional patient contact in U.S. clinical facilities. Emphasis is placed on improving techniques of the physical examination and diagnostic skills. Critical thinking will be refined to strengthen the ability to formulate rational clinical hypotheses and differential diagnoses. By the end of the course, students will be able to demonstrate their improved critical thinking skills, their fund of knowledge on mechanism of disease processes, and their clinical acumen, by making cogent written and oral presentations, in a patient-care setting.

USMLE STEP 1:
After completing Advanced Introduction to Clinical Medicine, and prior to beginning your clinical clerkships, you will take Step 1 of the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE).

Semesters 6 -10:
After passing the USMLE Step 1, students are eligible to enter clinical clerkships, in rotation, in specific fields. There are 48 weeks of required clinical core clerkships and 30 weeks of electives.
