Application complete email today, submitted 9/6, thought i was complete this whole time because the portal showed Under Review 🙃
 
Also received the app complete email yesterday, does anyone have an idea of how soon after receiving this email you can get a II?
 
Hello all, I am interviewing soon. Could anyone please share what I could do to prep or if you could share your questions and format (previous Touro masters student) thanks so much.

Does anyone have any advice for this interview? I love this school and am super nervous
 
Sorry if this was mentioned before, but do they screen for secondaries? Haven't recieved mine yet
 
Hey guys, I am submitting my secondary soon as I received it today. Is the interview online or in person?
 
Did anyone else’s interview feel more like a conversation than an interview? I have no idea what to make of that
 
are they still sending interviews? how is the turn around time to hear back after submitting secondaries?
I know I am pretty late but I just submitted mine so trying to get a reality check :')

I was complete early Sept and got my interview mid November! Based on cycletrack they send interviews though late March so you should definitely still have a fair shot 🙂

Questions for any current or recent Touro CA students lurking on this thread:

  • How easy is it to get involved in diabetes research? That’s my main area of interest
  • When do incoming students sort out housing matters? (Taking over lease etc)
  • What’s the parking situation like on campus?
  • Is there some sort of guide shared by students on how to survive each year of med school, tips, etc?
  • Also please correct me if I’m wrong: From what I understand Touro CA is an average osteopathic med school. I don’t mean this in a bad way, but more so like “I know if I can survive this program I’ll be able to match” etc. Even as an admitted student I still haven’t been able to find something about Touro that absolutely amazes me - other than that there’s a good chance I’ll place in CA for residency. I talked to one recent alum and it seems like this sentiment is not unique. But I would like to hear from more people.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Everyone,

I am a current student at TUCOM. I joined this thread to post about a weekly Q&A session hosted by our Admissions Committee Chair, Senior Admissions Counselor, and a student representative. It's a great way to learn about the school, student life, and the career path.

The meeting is called Touro Talks, and should be back on the website's event page next week. You can use the link below to register for the meeting, which is held on Friday's from 12-1pm PST.

I'd suggest joining for your questions, but here's my quick two cents! (I don't usually browse SDN)
  • How easy is it to get involved in diabetes research? That’s my main area of interest
    • Diabetes and metabolism are highlighted in our research department. Getting involved is usually easy, just reach out to the faculty that run the labs. IMO, much easier to get involved as opposed to how it was in undergrad!
  • When do incoming students sort out housing matters? (Taking over lease etc)
    • Leases are usually up in May/June, most people move in and set up in Summer. You just want to be squared away before orientation.
  • What’s the parking situation like on campus?
    • Parking is all over. Though it is a bit tighter with the recent class size increase, you can still easily find parking. You can walk across campus within 10 mins easily.
  • Is there some sort of guide shared by students on how to survive each year of med school, tips, etc?
    • Theres a really open door policy with faculty, and students are very collaborative. Second years are very open to sharing resources, advice, study guides, etc with the first years.
  • Also please correct me if I’m wrong: From what I understand Touro CA is an average osteopathic med school. I don’t mean this in a bad way, but more so like “I know if I can survive this program I’ll be able to match” etc. Even as an admitted student I still haven’t been able to find something about Touro that absolutely amazes me - other than that there’s a good chance I’ll place in CA for residency. I talked to one recent alum and it seems like this sentiment is not unique. But I would like to hear from more people.
    • Come to Touro Talks and ask what makes touro unique to those who work and study there!
