Ross University School of Medicine (RUSM) is a private medical school. It was founded in 1978 and is located on the island nation of Dominica, with administrative bases located in both Iselin, New Jersey and Miramar, Florida in the United States. ==History== The medical school was founded in 1978 as The University of Dominica School of Medicine by Robert Ross, an entrepreneur. At the time, it was the first American (US) medical school located outside of the United States. It was housed in leased facilities at The Castaways Hotel, with an inaugural class of 11 students. In 1982, the University Of Dominica School of Medicine formally changed its name to Ross University School of Medicine at the request of the government of Dominica. In 1985 California state medical licensing officials (the Board of Medical Quality Assurance), began investigating RUSM, along with other medical schools located in the Caribbean.〔 The officials released a report stating that RUSM at that time had nearly no admissions standards, and that the school was in the business of providing medical degrees to "everyone that wants one." However, RUSM agreed to implement a number of changes recommended by the board and has since graduated over 11,000 practicing physicians.〔 In the late 1990s, RUSM expressed interest in opening a new medical school in Casper, in the US state of Wyoming, but accreditation was denied by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education, the organization that accredits MD-granting medical schools in the United States. Some local individuals welcomed the economic impact of a new medical school on the town, but critics questioned the quality of education at a for-profit institution.〔 In 2003, RUSM was purchased by DeVry Education Group. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ross University School of Medicine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
