My personal experience here at Ross Medical Education Center has been amazing so far! Ever since I began my journey here, I have grown as a person and built unbreakable friendships with my peers. I also have a wonderful instructor who has not only taught me the skills to prepare me for the field of Dentistry, but how to work with others as a team and to become a better person overall.

I chose Ross Medical Education Center to better my life for myself and my children. They have several courses to choose from. From the moment I walked through the doors, I could tell they had a very professional, encouraging, and caring staff to help me succeed. Since day one they've been understanding and kind in all the situations life has dealt me through this exciting journey. Ross has changed my life by allowing me to find the part of myself that has been locked away. Strength. Because of their support, I have pushed myself to be better not only in school but in life. It has given me confidence and courage I didn't know I had. I feel secure in life knowing they have my back and I now have the ability to have my own career and never have to depend on anyone. By making the decision to come to Ross, I've changed my tomorrow today.

Carlissa Davis

My experience at Ross Medical Education Center was very AMAZING! I learned so many things that I never knew about the human body and how it functions. I also learned how to do everything that is required in the medical assistant program to have a chance to go to extern to be able to get more of the hands-on feeling of how things are. The instructors and students are very friendly and very helpful in everyway!

I like Ross because it's very hands-on and fast-paced. Everyone is very nice and welcoming. I also like how they help place you in an office when you're completely done with schooling.
