I was just wondering if anyone has any opinions on which are the best DO schools if one wants to complete residency training in California. How do Touro CA, AZCOM, and Western fare in California? Also Touro NV. I was also curious about the match lists at Western and Touro CA.

I've heard this thrown around a lot on SDN 'if you want to practice in Cali, do your residency in Cali, if you want to do your residency in Cali, go to med school in Cali.' I honestly don't know how much merit there is to it, but of the schools you listed, I'd personally say Western has the most CA weight. They are a really respected school in Cali.

I think Western... but it's gonna be up to you... a fair amount from Touro CA and NV as well as AZCOM do their residencies in CA.

Western is bomb

Update, I got rejected from Western, accepted at Touro CA and AZCOM. So between Touro and AZCOM what do you guys think? I am from LA and was hoping for Western but they denied me an interview but said they would still consider my application. I like AZCOM because its affiliated with Midwestern but then again they have so many other programs. Touro's location seems good and I really liked their admissions director, he made a very strong impression on me and I got a good vibe from people there.
