"Printed out everything from the TUCOM website and read it on the plane; read a bunch of TUCOM threads on Studentdoctor." Report Response
"Nice, friendly staff and laid back atmosphere. California's beautiful, even the ramshackle town of Vallejo. The facilities seemed adequate if not state of the art." Report Response
"The dean of the school along with a lot of the faculty were away at the AOA conference, so in his place the dean of the school of public health spoke to us for 45 minutes and we learned more than most of us wanted to know about the DO/MPH dual degree option. Also, because of the group interview approach, there wasn't much of a chance to converse with the interviewers. I would rather have a more personal and less structured interview. The student tour guide was nice and frank about the school but failed to show us the student housing and cafeteria facilities even though it was on the schedule. Touro is a kosher Jewish campus yet the student seemed to know very little about Judaism, and no one else mentioned it all day, almost as though they were embarrassed about it. The facilities appear to be converted from the old naval facilities and not designed from the ground up as a medical school." Report Response
"I didn't realize it was a group interview, 5 applicants and 3 interviewers together in a room." Report Response
"Touro California seems like a nice laid back school with limited opportunities for clinical exposure in the first two years. They are very interested in their students and listen carefully to their feedback. They have begun to incorporate PBL into the curriculum, but just for one course so far. I would expect this school to keep progressing and expanding over time." Report Response
