Touro University - California has officially been granted Full Accreditation Status. The advancement has been updated on both the PharmCAS and ACPE website. Just a valuable piece of information for the next cycle of applicants 🙂

ACPE Site: http://www.acpe-accredit.org/shared_info/accredHistory.asp?degreeid=35&entity=12

I saw that a while ago when I browsed around on PharmCAS, but when I check this website, it's still on candidate status. On the school's website, it hasn't say anything about getting full accreditation yet.

The decision was made on 6/30/09. ACPE has not updated their site since then. Accreditation was granted after the first class graduated, following the March 2009 review of the program. Hope this clarifies for you.

I think if you look carefully at the site of the link, under Review Type is "Comprehensive - Advancement to Full"...which leads to the idea that it has been advanced to full accreditation.

Please read my 2nd post. I go to Touro, the whole school has been notified. There is no confusion.

Oh, I was responding to HolyLight's post and I quoted him. My apologies. My friend is also attending Touro in the fall and yes I know they have been notified as well. Good luck to you. 👍

I understand you guys are also a 2+2 program. How have they been with rotations? Do you have a choice of where you wanna do your rotations, or are they being limited to like more needy neighborhoods?

someone merge this with the touro thread

and congrats to touro, then again...once a school hits candidate status, it's almost a foregone conclusion it will go fully accredited after the first class graduates, save for a total meltdown by the school. and for once the pharmcas website is somewhat up to date!

We have two Touro-CA 4th years at our hospital right now, great people... but the crest on the white coat is so... big and gawdy.

Anyway, congrats to Touro!
