"The faculty are all really great--intellgient, interesting, good teachers, helpful, etc. There is a TON of support that this school for you to succeed. I also like the campus community here, people are very friendly and students are very open with sharing study materials." | Report Response

"Traditional education that focuses on presenting information in various manners, with an extremely dedicated group of faculty members." | Report Response

"I really like the open door policy of this school. The faculty is readily available to students and you can go talk to them almost whenever you want and they're willing to help you." | Report Response

"Location! Staff/Faculty are top notch. 3rd year rotations can all be done locally! No moving around." | Report Response

"not enough windows in the building." | Report Response

"Too much time spent in class each week to get studying done." | Report Response

"I wish there could be more research. They do research, but with limited equipment/resources, it can limit how much research can be done." | Report Response

"Attendance policy! Since is still new, there are some growing pains; however, the faculty listens to the students and does their best to adjust when needed." | Report Response

"Touro Nevada is an awesome campus. Although it looks like a warehouse on the outside, it's really nice on the inside. I'm thankful for the opportunity to study here. Even though it's not perfect, it's still a great school with great professors and doctors who want to help you become a physician." | Report Response

"Good school is GREAT location. Everyone is happy and a very close knit group. TUNV is becoming more and more well known in Nevada and in my opinion is the very best of the 3 Touro schools. I'm glad about my choice to attend here!" | Report Response

"only for labs and OMM lecture (2 hrs per week)" | Report Response

"Not very often. Only for labs." | Report Response

"Our school requires 70% attendance from all classes otherwise you lose 10% of your grade." | Report Response

"70% attendance required in all classes to receive the 10% attendance that is figured into all classes. I know EXACTLY how many I miss and take my max 30%, but really, really like the 10% cushion figured into our grade at the end (so never go over 30% missed)" | Report Response

"None really, unless you choose to use textbooks to help understand the material given in lecture. At the very least, should have anatomy textbook and atlas, histology atlas, and some sort of physiology book." | Report Response

"Most books aren't necessary, except Gray's Anatomy for Students. They have clinical green vignettes which are tested on during exams. Other than that, buying books is up to you. I'm cheap, so I don't like to buys books. Rather, I'd spend my money buying review books (ie BRS, Lippincott, etc.)" | Report Response

"First year only books I used were anatomy atlas, Grey's anatomy for students, BRS anatomy, BRS physiology, BRS neuro. 99% of the courses I studied for with the powerpoint slides only. 2nd year - I use robbin's path, goljan path (and audio), pharm and micro flashcards." | Report Response

"Never bought the Green OMM book! Haven't purchased any books for 2nd year except robbin's, goljan rapid review, and pharm (lippincott). If you are a book reader, buy them! If not, use the powerpoints to study and you will be fine" | Report Response

"Not really. I'm sure they'd love if people chose primary care, but there are clubs for all sorts of interest groups, and pretty much all of the faculty members practice as specialists." | Report Response

"Primary care...it is a DO school :). However about 50% of our class is looking at going into a specialty and that is supported by all of our interest groups on campus." | Report Response

No responses

"Very helpful. They really want to help students in any way possible." | Report Response

"Most of them are very helpful. Some seem like they don't want to be there, especially during anatomy dissections. In general, however, almost everyone is helpful and friendly during office hours." | Report Response

"Most of the faculty is great. There are 1 or 2 that SHOULD NOT be teaching (but I have encountered this throughout my educational career). Overall, I have enjoyed the 2nd year faculty teaching very much compared to 1st year. (Our pharm faculty is top notch!!!)" | Report Response

"6 more months and I can answer this :)" | Report Response

"you get a percentage grade on your transcript--not A, B, C, D, it will say 88.5%, 92%, 76% etc for each class." | Report Response

"100-90 is an A, 89-80 is a B, 79-70 a C. Anything below 70 is failing." | Report Response

"Grade passed with less than 70% being fail." | Report Response

"70% or above is passing. Grades are assigned as percentages." | Report Response

"Same as pre-clinical. Your grade is determined by preceptor eval and shelf exam." | Report Response

"3rd year - 2 months family, 2 months peds, 2 months surgery, 2 months med, 1 month ob/gyn, 1 month psych, 2 months elective." | Report Response

"Depends on the rotation. Some of my rotations, I saw my patients daily, wrote progress notes, and wrote orders (all countersigned by my preceptor). Other rotations were shadowing only (VERY BORING)" | Report Response

"All the hospitals are good. You rotate at the hospital(s) that your preceptors are at. Most of our clinicals are both outpt and inpt so you get a little of both. Valley is our affiliated hospital with a residency program and everyone does ONE internal med rotation there." | Report Response

"Lots of different patient profiles! We get a lot of out of towners with some pretty exotic illnesses so being in Vegas, you are going to see some interesting stuff. We also deal with our fair share of homeless, drug, alcohol abusers. But overall, a big city patient profile." | Report Response

"Go the Las Vegas Boulevard." | Report Response

"Go to the strip. Nuff said" | Report Response

"It's Vegas...! Clubbing at the strip for those so inclined. Lake Mead is 15 min away (we go there alot to swim, sail (you can rent boats) and just to get away), red rock canyon (biking/hiking), and of course the strip casinos and hotels (world-class restaurants, activities) and a little bit of blackjack thrown in." | Report Response

"Match lists are posted at www.tunlive.com. But take them with a grain of salt....who knows what each class wanted/got? Maybe they all wanted family med or orthopedic surgery." | Report Response

"Again, primary care docs are the goal, but there is no stigma for those of us that want to practice in a specialty" | Report Response

"Overall, since TUNV is still so new I imagine they are still forming opinions. We have graduates in residencies all over the US (both allo and osteo). I'm talking to those in years ahead/graduated to get a feel for what the residency trail might hold re: our reputation." | Report Response
