Meet our five institutions

Our medical schools—American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine and Ross University School of Medicine—are located in the Caribbean, where they've expanded access to medical education for decades. This approach allows us to reach students facing barriers to traditional U.S. medical school admission, while maintaining rigorous academic standards. Our medical school graduates are eligible to practice in 50 states, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Combined, our medical schools grant over 2X more MDs annually than any MD-granting school in the country. 55% of our medical graduates train in primary care shortage areas.

Each institution operates with its own accreditation and leadership, maintaining the specialized focus required to serve distinct student populations—from working nurses to international medical students to online learners. Covista provides the enterprise infrastructure no single institution could build alone: health system partnerships at scale, coordinated technology platforms, and workforce development initiatives that span the entire healthcare continuum. This model expands access and builds capacity at unprecedented scale—more than 97,000 students enrolled, and 385,000 alumni practicing nationwide, delivering healthcare professionals where they're needed most.
