Ross Institute of Medical and Dental Technology

Also known as Hocking Technical College

3301 Hocking Parkway, Nelsonville, OH

Ross Medical Education Center is a system of schools with twenty five locations in five states. A majority of the locations are in Michigan, where the first school, then known as Learning Foundations, was opened in Flint in 1969 by J.M. Ross. Within two years the school had expanded to six locations after which ownership changed and so did the focus from pre-vocational training to allied health education.

Today the school continues to expand its offerings and locations, having grown considerably from its origins into leader in allied health career training education. The school provides programs and curriculums to prepare students to enter the healthcare industry quickly while maintaining a high standard of education and training to ensure longevity of employment.  Graduates have access to career placement services to assist in finding employment.

Programs offered include:

• Dental Assistant
• Medical Assistant
• Medical Insurance and Billing
• Pharmacy Technician
• Veterinary Assistant

Not all locations have access to the same programs. Interested students should contact their desired Ross Medical Education Center to determine program availability.
