Touro University California Reviews

"I would not recommend my worst enemy to come to this school. Touro CA loses rotation paperwork regularly so be prepared to lose your rotation sites. The Anatomy lab manager stares at the female students chests when they speak to him or are nearby, so be ready to objectified when you are paying to actually be in a professional learning environment. The Anatomy professor continually says unprofessional statements as well as stories and inappropriately touches students in front of the class. The Immunology professor commonly says racist and sexist comments to students as well as colleagues, who will then attempt to justify this by his sons adoption story. The Neuroscience professor only favors white males in her course, if you are a minority and a woman, then good luck, also has mood swings which will impact the grading scheme and your overall course grade. They do not comply with California law regulations, therefore if you are owed funds from financial aid they were alter the dates in the system, so that they keep the funds. Lastly, Touro CA does not value honesty nor speaking up for yourself, they want conformity, not individuality. If you are wiling to give up your morals, ethics and who are, to get to where you want to be professionally, then this is the place for you."

"This school is great at making you feel like an individual. After coming from a UC, I immediately appreciated the small campus feeling. It seems like all of the professors and staff really want to help you! While the facilities are lacking, it is a relatively newer school that has a lot of room for growth. For anyone looking at a master's level post bacc, the MSMHS program is great at exposing you a curriculum similar to that of the COM."

"Touro University California is the only PA program in the United States where students receive a Masters in Public Health along with their PA degree. Although the program is rigorous, with classes from 9am to 9pm the first semester, the knowledge and experience gained is immeasurable. With only 45 students accepted per year, the cohort is very close knit, and the faculty get to know you on an individual basis with one faculty member serving as your academic counselor. Touro University California is a wonderful program and I highly recommend it to everyone looking to pursue a career as a Physician Assistant."

"Although the school was trying something new with the curriculum, I was given the basic knowledge needed to excel at a high level when out on clinical rotations. Affiliation with Arrowhead Regional Medical Center was a plus, and this is where I really learned how to be a doctor."
