Persistence, Purpose, and the Path to Medicine: A Conversation with Dr. Jeff Ross ’75

Thursday, September 18, 2025 4:00–5:00 PM
  • Location
    Memorial Union, Senate Chambers (3rd Floor)
  • Description
    Join us for an inspiring conversation with URI alumnus Dr. Jeff Ross ’75 as he returns to campus to speak with pre-med and pre-health students.

    Dr. Ross is known for his honest and engaging talks about the realities of pursuing a medical career, from early challenges and disappointments to eventual success.

    He shares valuable insights on:

    What it’s really like to be a medical student

    Choosing a medical specialty (the pros and cons)

    Building persistence and resilience along your pre-med journey

    This is not a lecture: it’s a tailored, student-centered discussion where your questions and interests shape the conversation. Dr. Ross has a unique ability to connect with students year after year, remembering past attendees and continuing the dialogue over time.

    Whether you’re just starting your pre-med path or preparing for applications, this is a rare opportunity to hear from an alum who has walked the road ahead of you and is eager to share his experiences.

    Open to all URI pre-med and pre-health students

    Don’t miss the chance to learn, connect, and be inspired!
