Hello! I was fortunate enough to get a few acceptances this cycle and so far have narrowed down to these two. I'm a California resident and would love to come back after med school for residencies etc. As for the type of residencies, I have a few in mind but very unsure at the moment.
RVU-UT
Pros:
-Great boards
-great residency matches in specialties other than FM
-curriculum is great
-ultrasound is a big thing/sim lab as well
Cons:
-location: kind of in the middle of no where. Personally I'm fine, but SO will have a much harder time finding a job (he's a computer programmer)
-kind of difficult to get to/from california
-campus doesn't have a cafeteria/food options
-finding off campus housing will be quite difficult
Touro-NV
Pros:
-location is great, SO can probably find a job straight away, more things to do, etc.
-a little bit easier to get to and from California
-new dean seems interested on broadening their residency matches
-lots of residency matches in CA, but mostly in FM
Cons:
-they started systems based curriculum only a couple of years ago so effect on board exams are still unknown
-board exams, historically aren't all that great
-Focuses on FM residencies
-Building is a big warehouse, so kind of bummed there's no sunlight or windows.
