Battle of the Touros! Very fortunate to have been accepted to both, but also very torn. Some things that are important to me is being able to go into a specialty that I want in a large hospital. Totally undecided right now, but I like Anesthesia, General Surgery, EM and Internal Medicine + fellowship in no particular order. I am from CA. My fam and SO would like me to end up in CA, but I would also be happy in NY

Touro Middletown
Pros

• Liked the Dean and students, so liked the "feel" of it (only met a few though)
• great 2020 match results in my opinion: Middletown Match Results
• Fridays off
• more placements in anesthesia and EM for 2020 (Nevada's 2020 list is not out yet)
• provide lots of resources to study for comlex and usmle
• flipped classroom

Cons

• Mandatory clickers
• rotation sites are OK-ish
• low comlex 2 PE score (83%)
• long commute to NYC for my SO (he works in the legal field)
• less established than nevada

Touro Nevada
Pros

• more established than middletown
• weather / easy commute for SO
• no mandatory lectures
• higher comlex 2 PE (claimed it was recently 93% during my interview)
• can do all rotations within 40 min of school, and have some bigger training sites

Cons

• dont know if I fit in with the students (minimal interaction here too)
• idk how I feel about the match list and specialties ...I dont know too much about the names of these hospital sites: - Touro Nevada
• I have heard parking can be an issue
• class rank in numbers (I think middletown is in quartiles)
• didnt love the campus (its a big warehouse)
