Ross University School of Medicine graduated more students to their next phase of learning at a white coat ceremony last Friday, May 13th at the university’s annex.
The white coat ceremony marks the students’ transition from the study of preclinical to clinical health sciences.
Parliamentary Representative for the Portsmouth Constituency, Hon Ian Douglas, welcomed the students to Dominica.
The Hon Minister says Government continues to work with the Ross University to ensure its success.
Hon. Douglas revealed that Portsmouth has developed tremendously since Ross’s inception.
Dr. Mark Kimpton, Assistant Professor in the Department of Clinical Medicine and former student of Ross University was the keynote speaker.
He challenged the medical students to put patients first.
Ross University was founded in 1978 and has more than 12,000 alumnae who are practicing in the United States, Canada and beyond.
Two Dominicans were among those receiving white coats.
