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.
Sarah Stevens Graduate Dental Assistant student at Erlanger, KY campus Graduation: May 28, 2019
My experience at Ross has been nothing but positive. From the day that I first expressed interest, all the way through to the externship experience, Ross has provided me with an outstanding training of my chosen field. The small class size and differentiated instruction has allowed me to feel more than prepared to enter in to the medical coding and billing field.

I had a great experience at Ross. Everyone was very accommodating and knowledgeable in my field. Every day I walked in, I was greeted with a positive, ready-to-help staff member. Ross provided me with the tools I needed to take the next step in my life and find my forever job. I cannot thank everyone at Ross enough for this fantastic experience. I feel like I walked in as a scared student and I'm leaving as a graduate with lifelong friends.
