"Beautiful campus, great classmates, MPH program makes the MPH very easy to obtain. Even though medical school is difficult, I believe they prepared me to succeed on match day. The program is wonderful." | Report Response

"Small, the faculty is available, and the administration is open to change." | Report Response

"student body" | Report Response

"absolutely nothing." | Report Response

"Location" | Report Response

"No student support. Terrible clinical rotations that are in no way standardized and very little correlation to training at higher level institutions." | Report Response

"There are a small number of exceptional people at Touro" | Report Response

"The student body." | Report Response

"The poor education and the incompetence of the administration." | Report Response

"Administration needs to do more for the facilities plain and simple. Also, you're in Cali things are more expensive than other parts of the US." | Report Response

"Medical school is hard so any complaints about it would be because it is hard." | Report Response

"adminstration, clinical rotations" | Report Response

"1) The school does absolutely nothing for it's students. We had to arrange our own rotations, we had to recruit our own professors during the 3rd and 4th years. We were charged ridiculous fees. There is no accounting for where our 33,000 tuition goes. 2) the campus is pitiful. It's on an abandoned naval base and it looks like it just got hit by an atomic bomb. There is no landscaping, no fresh paint on the facilities, nothing. 3) The administration is corrupt 4) There is no diversity. There are very few to no black or hispanic students in the doctoral program. They also banned the gay and lesbian student group from campus 3 years ago and only reinstated their funding after the city of Vallejo threatened to withdraw support of the school. 4) they play musical chairs with their faculty. The school has not consistently had one dean or provost for longer than 2-3 years. ever. 5) The financial Aid office is run by novices who know very little about financial aid. There are no resources available to students, and the financial aid office is controlled by the New York Campus. All disbursements must go through New York first, so it takes 5x's longer to receive financial aid than necessary." | Report Response

"Organization" | Report Response

"The administration has their priorities completely out of line. They have no real interest in educating physicians but rather are seeking to make a profit at the expense of students." | Report Response

"The school offers little support to the students. Clinical exposure the first couple of years is minimal at best. The clinical education department is terribly run. They are unfamiliar with rotation sites are poorly available for assistance and send students to abysmal sites. Touro provides no professional guidance. The program does not appear to be run by professionals. It is a corporation with greater interest in collecting tuition, with little interest in providing a quality education." | Report Response

"The clinical education department." | Report Response

"Professors and students DO publish research, quite often. The administration does do a lot for students, but as you can see the posts below are very old and things have changed since then." | Report Response

"For a small school, there is quite a lot of research that happens. Our professors and our students publish quite a bit." | Report Response

"The school is not supportive of students, it is run by corrupt administration, most of the osteopathic faculty are quacks, and students must basically teach themselves medicine for four years. DO NOT GO TO TOURO UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!!" | Report Response

"none" | Report Response

"Clinical education a serious problem. Rotations difficult to arrange. School provides no support to students." | Report Response

"All labs are mandatory. Some lectures are mandatory." | Report Response

"Not often" | Report Response

"If this is about attendance for class, then it is only required for labs (OMM, Doctoring and sometimes histo/pathology). Lectures are 99% voluntary." | Report Response

"fairly frequently" | Report Response

"Lots of the books are shared between students or are at the library so you don't have to buy them (and might save some money) but I used most of my books." | Report Response

"Tough question. Each student is different and if I were to do it over again, I would not have purchased most of them and used library copies." | Report Response

"The school provides a required and recommended book list. Some really useful texts are robbin's basic pathology, clinically oriented anatomy, harrison's internal medicine, mosby's guide to physical examination" | Report Response

"Very few nowadays" | Report Response

"Most of them." | Report Response

"this is subjective" | Report Response

"The curriculum is not adequate to prepare students for practice in any field of medicine." | Report Response

"Primary care, but it's not like shoved down your throat or anything." | Report Response

"The mission of Touro is focused on creating primary care doctors in Northern California. You could say that the school is pushing primary care, but with nothing to compare it to, I would have to say no specialty is being promoted." | Report Response

"no" | Report Response

"No we have no specialty advisors or faculty." | Report Response

"There is minimal professional guidance. There are very few practicing physicians teaching during the first two years." | Report Response

"Primary care." | Report Response

"N/a but many students live on the island in houses" | Report Response

"People don't live on-campus, per se. Some live about 1-2 miles away in newly built homes with affordable rent ($700/mo - give or take)" | Report Response

"N/A" | Report Response

"With a few exceptions, faculty are terrible." | Report Response

"I thought the faculty was great and they always seemed to really care about how all of us were doing inside and outside of the classroom." | Report Response

"Faculty consists of a wide range of PhD and MD/DO. Some speak English well, some not so much. Some give great lectures and some not so much." | Report Response

"The faculty is very diverse and helpful. There is a good ratio between faculty and students in small group sessions." | Report Response

"Mediocre" | Report Response

"Average" | Report Response

"Faculty during pre-clinical years is halfway decent. Some very caring people work for the school and teach pre-clinical classes." | Report Response

"With a few exceptions, rotations have zero educational value." | Report Response

"It depends on which rotation site you go to, but I have always had good or great instructional faculty." | Report Response

"Do not know yet. It will also very because we use many different sites for rotations." | Report Response

"N/A" | Report Response

"Poor" | Report Response

"The is no "clinical faculty" per se. There is a random collection of preceptors who have little to no incentive to teach students in a clinical setting." | Report Response

"Numeric." | Report Response

"Typical grading scale out of a 4.0" | Report Response

"Grades are not curved." | Report Response

"An arbitrary scale. Very little room for comments" | Report Response

"100-0" | Report Response

"It's not so much the scheduling but the location that is the issue. We rotate at various locations throughout California (and a few rotation sites in NY and PA but those are all inclusive rotations meaning you stay there for about 1 year)." | Report Response

"Students apply for their schedules and have the typical rotations and options for 2 electives in their 3rd year." | Report Response

"Poorly. Touro spends less than the bare minimum on Clinical education and it is apparent." | Report Response

"Student must do a tremendous amount of work to arrange and schedule their rotations. The school will make it difficult to arrange rotations successfully. Students must travel from state to state on a monthly basis to satisfy their monthly rotations." | Report Response

"Depends on your preceptor but for the most part" | Report Response

"Depends on the preceptor and the location." | Report Response

"unsure" | Report Response

"Varying." | Report Response

"Making copies. Work as secretaries. No patient responsibility or interaction." | Report Response

"All of the hospitals are in good or excellent condition. They generally have good funding as well." | Report Response

"Too many different hospitals to comment." | Report Response

"unsure" | Report Response

"Poor." | Report Response

"Poorly managed. Little didactics. Substandard care." | Report Response

"Depends, also why I was hesitant to say how far the clinical sites were from campus. The Touro network has hospitals across the country. TU Cal has most in Northern California, but you can do all year in PA or NY. Also you can do elective rotations outside the country as a part of their global health program." | Report Response

"Varies from each location." | Report Response

"unsure" | Report Response

"Varies." | Report Response

"There's a lot to do indoors and outdoors. My personal favorites were visiting SF, Napa, and hiking." | Report Response

"In the immediate area, nothing. A lot of students enjoy going to San Francisco to study, hang out, eat, and party." | Report Response

"Play sports, shop, eat, go to San Francisco" | Report Response

"Horribly." | Report Response

"They do really well. I think that having to find some preceptors during our clinical years better prepares us to find and apply for residencies." | Report Response

"Unofficially, we have the highest placement into California residencies of any school in the nation." | Report Response

"not sure" | Report Response

"Depends on how proactive they are. Our programs depends completely on what you put into your education. Nothing more nothing less. Our school provides next to nothing in guidance, education, or true training." | Report Response

"?" | Report Response

"Remarkably well, considering the total lack of support given to students in applying to residency programs." | Report Response

"They should never consider a Touro CA graduate for any position." | Report Response

"Residency directors know this is a good program and we produce good physicians." | Report Response

"Do not know at this time." | Report Response

"not sure" | Report Response

"I have spoken to several who always questions students for this school because they know how easy it is to walk through 4 years doing next to nothing/getting no real standardized, rigorous training," | Report Response

"?" | Report Response

"Hard working. Tough. Not complainers. Know how to teach themselves. Self-motivated." | Report Response

"The school is known for the low quality of its graduates." | Report Response

"Primary care" | Report Response

"Yes, primary care, as this is the goal for most osteopathic medical schools." | Report Response
