For context, I am a nontrad who is interested in general surgery. I am from CA, and I might want to come back here to practice.

AZCOM
pros:
- excellent match list
- non-mandatory attendance
- more research opportunities

cons:
- more expensive
- weekly exams, sometimes 2-3 per week

Touro-Middletown
pros:
- better weather (I prefer the cold)
- near NYC
- local rotations

cons:
- HCOL (but the tuition at AZCOM is high too)
- more ppl match into FM/IM
