Bill could sink future offshore medical schools in Wyoming Proponents of a bill to require U.S. accreditation for Wyoming medical schools say it will not prevent Ross University from opening a campus in Casper. A bill introduced in the Wyoming Legislature to require that medical schools be licensed in the state and show proof of accreditation by a nationally recognized body has officials of Ross University Medical School hopping mad. We have seen opposition to us that ranges from physical to economic intimidation. This could affect our enrollment.
Plans call for the program to begin with a two-year basic science curriculum.
Students would complete their final two years on the Dominica main campus. Standing behind caliber of Ross' grads B ut Simon vehemently disputes the implication that Ross is unaccredited and its quality not comparable with U.S. medical schools. He said several states, including New Jersey and New York, have approved clerkships in hospitals for Ross students during their third and fourth years. Supporting Ross' efforts to open its campus in Wyoming has been the Casper Area Economic Development Alliance. The nation's 125 medical schools are accredited by the Liaison Committee for Medical Education.
