"The school is still not accredited yet, but it should be by the end of this year after they graduate their first class."
"We were exposed to 3D scanning in the first week of the fall semester which we will use more when we move to clinic. In addition, the Sim Lab itself is open from 8 A.M to midnight every day, so you never have to worry about not having enough time to practice."
"As mentioned before, the school follows the Jewish auspices, so almost 70% of our current D1 class are Jewish. There are a good number of students from different backgrounds (Asians, Middle eastern, Desi); however, the majority are Jewish."

Note: Total 4-year costs for Touro are not available as they began operations too recently to have complete cost data.

What are the best things about attending Touro College of Dental Medicine at New York Medical College?

Summer semester of the first year: The first year at TCDM starts at the beginning of July with a one-month Summer semester. I found this semester extremely helpful as it was a great transition for my classmates and I. The best thing is that we started sim lab (also known as preclinic) from day one, focusing mainly on teeth waxing. By the end of the Summer semester, we were extremely familiar with the sim lab and dental equipment. It also allowed us to meet and build relationships with our professors, with whom we spend the next year during our operative dentistry. We also started one of the hardest basic science classes, biochemistry. The school realized that this class is extremely dense and difficult, so they divided it among the Summer and first half of the fall semester, which helped tremendously.
