students, Dr. Haight, facilities, proximity to SF, future development plans including the nation's first heavy ion cancer treatment center

What impressed you negatively?

ambiguous interview questions were pretty frustrating

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I knew the interview would be in a panel format with other applicants; however, I didn't realize I would only have around 10 minutes to speak and wow the interviewers!

What are your general comments?

Touro is relatively new and has a lot of potential. The location is not aesthetically pleasing, but the facilities are up-to-date on the inside. The proximity to SF is definitely a draw.
