Hello All,

I am fortunate enough to be in this predicament so far and wanting to only spend the money to hold one acceptance. I have a few of my own personal pros and cons about each school but i am looking for some further potential insight into each school. Any opinions would be appeeciated! which would yall choose and why?

Depends on so many things only you can answer. Where are you from? How important is city size to you? Where do you want to practice and do your residency at? How did you like each school when you visited?

I'm from Washington state and have lived in both major cities and tiny college town like Buies Creek, I prefer larger cities though. I thoroughly enjoyed both schools, I think CUSOM was a little more impressive facilities wise but new programs make me a little apprehensive. Ive never lived on east coast so it's hard to tell where I'll want to practice I'm obviously west coast biased. thanks for the thoughtful questuons!

CUSOM has mandatory attendance. That alone negates any single benefit it could ever have.

I also heard Touro Nevada got a new dean from KCU and will be revising their curriculum and board prep methods. Anyone care to confirm?

I think he was only dean for clinical education but yeah they switched to a systems based curriculum and will be heavily gearing students towards the boards.

Take touro Nevada. Coming from an attendance mandatory school, you want the option. Those that benefit will still attend lecture

Dr Doughetry was our clinical dean. Nice guy. Not sure how they will run the curriclum the same since the creators of the curriculum are still at kcu but im sure it will be the same or similar sequencing.

I saw a news update that Touro Nevada attended the opening of Henderseon Hospital. Is that a affilatiom now with the school?

True yeah mandatory attendance does sound a bit excessive, specially being married and what not. I heard on interview day they are all really liking the new dean

Dr. Dougherty is friends with the higher ups of Henderson Hospital, he mentioned this during his presentation and said them and Touro would be working together.
