Anyone have any thoughts on this program "The Touro/Technion Joint Medical Education Program"?

Thanks.......Gerry

Well, it's 5 years, and I've asked (emailed) twice now for info on it and haven't received a response.

In particular, I'd kind of like to know what the emphasis of the Masters is, and where the clinical rotations are. I think that US financial aid is available.

I did check with Pat Park @ the California Medical Board, and the Technion program is approved for licensure in California so it should be good anywhere in the US.

Hey,

The masters seems to be in Bio-Medical and the clinicals appear to be in Israel. I've since found you can apply directly to Technion.

Bye ....... Gerry

I am currently in my first year of the Touro/Technion program.

The masters portion of the program is equivalent to all first year medical school programs, but you have to choose a related area of interest (having to do with your first year science classes) to research in detail for a masters thesis.
The professors have all been very good so far. Most of them teach at other medical schools in the area also, ie..Our histology prof also teaches at Einstien, Biochem prof teaches at NY Medical College, etc.

If you have any questions, ask away.
