Oh hey, when this this thread get here?
Well I'm here now. Excited to start August 1st :D
 
Love here! Will be attending touro this august! :)
 
I'm in the class of 2014.

Looking forward to meeting many of you next fall. Enjoy your summer.
 
I'm in the middle of getting all my Touro medical forms completed for starting this fall, and I just found this thread. Hello, Everybody.
 
btw, if anyone has any questions, i'll throw myself out there to answer them. ask the silly questions you're normally afraid to ask now. You're gonna be doctors now! Time to ask those silly questions.
 
Congratulations everyone for getting accepting into TUCOM NY. Good news for someone. after a long debate, i decided not to attend Tucom & will be attending a LCME MD school. I'll miss all the cultural events & awesome Chinatown at the big apple. Good luck to everyone.

I voted for it. My interviewers asked whether I had taken anatomy yet, and both STRONGLY recommended (and re-recommended) that I take it before matriculating ... if not at Touro, then someplace else. This echoed the advice I've received from 4 close college friends who are docs, and I plan to follow it. I think I saw that the Touro tuition is 1000.00, which is a bit less than my local community college's summer A&P I & II courses, so I guess I'm in.

I voted for it as well. Although I have taken anatomy before, I don't think I remember much.

Although I have a close friend in her second year of med school who says that she'd rather just enjoy her last month of freedom before heading to med school.

Its amusing that we sent the most people, 7, to Nassau, where we don't really have any affiliation. Its just a nice hospital in Long Island.
 
Good Evening Everyone!

I just found this thread, and will also be a Class of '15 member. I'm really looking forward to meeting and working with all of you, and (quite frankly) have a serious case of "tunnel vision." I'm finishing everything out at work right now, training my replacement and handing my cases over, and I can't stop thinking about school! Let's DO this!


Take Care!!!

There are about 118 or so in the group. Many are upperclassmen, who contribute useful information about school, places to live, etc. Obed also relays leads he receives about housing opportunities as well as other interesting stuff. It's a very diverse, friendly group.
 
Does anyone know if the 2nd deposit due in mid May is refundable?

For what it's worth, the following was stated in the attachment to the TouroCom Acceptance letter I received on Feb. 9:

"NOTE: All accepted applicants are required to submit two deposits in order to secure a place in the Fall entering class. This includes a $2,000 non-refundable acceptance deposit (payable within two weeks after the date of the Letter of Acceptance) and a $1,000 tuition deposit due by May 16, 2011. These deposits will be fully applied toward your first semester’s tuition. The tuition deposit (1,000) is refundable provided cancellation is made prior to the first day of mandatory orientation. Please return the ‘Response Form’ first, via scan and e-mail or via mail. Upon receipt you will receive an e-mail from Mr. Berrios with instructions on how to complete your enrollment deposit. His contact information is [email protected]

Any refund request must be submitted in writing by registered mail, return receipt. The postmark on your request determines the applicable date for refund calculations. There are absolutely no exceptions to the refund policy."

Good Luck.
 
I was just accepted last week-- can anybody tell me what anatomy class you're talking about? Is TouroCOM offering a prep course for gross anatomy? If so, where, when, how long, how much, how often, and how awesome.

I'm pumped!

Congratulations!:thumbup:
You should get an e-mail about it soon, maybe. Go ahead and ask Obed about it. Also ask him about joining the fb group. Its invisible and you need to be invited by him to join. here you go,
----
Introduction to Anatomy is a four week course that is taught by the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine faculty that starts July 5th. This course covers Anatomic terminology and all the systems of the body and their function. By the end of this course you will have a sound foundation of the basic systems and their functions. This course will also provide you with study techniques, and teach you how to answer multiple choice questions. There will be a lab component with demonstration of prosected cadavers and dissecting techniques.. Classes will run Monday to Thursday from 9.00 am to 3.00 pm. You will take a few exams that will not be graded, but are administered to give you an idea as to where you stand with understanding the material that is being presented. You will receive a certificate at the end of the four weeks.
Cost:$1,000

Thanks a ton, I'll be giving Obed a call right after work.
 
Hi,

First, I'd like to thank DocEspana for all his generous input on the TouroCom forums. Next, I was wondering if anyone knows details about orientation. Do we need to bring our laptops that day? Some schools require them on the first day so that they can be set up for classes. Any details would be great. Thanks!
 
Hey guys,

So I heard there have been some pretty interesting changes to how the school handles its educational curriculum in the first two years. Tell me about them! I'm really curious to hear how this is working out for you guys, since its so different from the format the classes of 2011-2013 (and one year of 2014) went through.
 
We have itunes podcasts for lectures in physio, OMM, and the half of biochem taught by Binstock. Instead of lectures, we'll have one hour a week of question/answer sessions with iclickers that rarely work.

So far, I like the lectures, and think the q/a is a joke. Additionally, histo lab has been cut down, and now most histo labs will be online, at your leisure, with virtual microscopy.

In return for this information, I humbly ask that you tell me what on earth I should do for histo, because I'm not even clear on what the exams consist of.

Histo Time. Of course you might not desire to pay the $75 (or whatever it costs now) to get it. There *might* be certain less than legitimate methods most people use to get it. If its hard to get Histo Time, then the next best thing is shotgun histology. Really good program, but not quite as quick and efficient as histo time.
