"We are here to teach our students clinically, professionally, ethically."
IRENE PERGJIKA, MS, ALUMNA, CLINICAL MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING PROGRAM: Touro College is a very student-centered environment. It provides you with guidance and support throughout your years here.
SHANEL SINGH, STUDENT, MASTER'S IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY PROGRAM: The classes and field experiences at Touro are established in sequence manner, so the students get to apply the theories and interventions that we learn while things are still fresh in our mind.
DANA YEE, STUDENT, DOCTORATE OF PHYSICAL THERAPY PROGRAM: The faculty is extremely helpful. They're always reachable by email, or whether they're in their office. But they always want you to excel, so they really take the time out of their day to go through more information with you or help you with whatever you need help with.
KRISZTINA SZABO, STUDENT, NURSING PROGRAM: Most of them have 30-plus years' experience. They really have the insight, what you should know, and they really prepare you for the real life.
SHIRA WEINER, PH.D., ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, DOCTORATE OF PHYSICAL THERAPY PROGRAM: So we try to instill in our students that research is important, and that we all have an obligation to contribute to the research base by doing our own innovative research.
SHIFRA LEISER, OT.D., ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, MASTER'S IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY PROGRAM: But in addition to that, we do work very hard to give our students a multitude of clinical experiences in a wide array of settings with diverse populations. So they're not only getting theoretical or foundational knowledge, but the clinical application piece is strong and important to us, as well.
SEAN GETTY, MS, OTR/L, ALUMNUS, ADJUNCT PROFESSOR, MASTER'S IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY PROGRAM: Coming from my prerequisite work at a large institution, and what attracted me to Touro was the small class sizes, while still having the benefit of a much larger university system.
CARLOS A. COELLO, MBBS, STUDENT, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT GRADUATE PROGRAM: The interaction with the instructors is very personal. They can offer us additional help during off hours, and I find that really amazing.
STEVEN BLAUSTEIN, PH.D., ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, MASTER'S IN SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY PROGRAM: We are here to train students clinically, professionally, ethically, and teach them the breadth and depth of knowledge they need to be successful.
JUSTINE GJELLAND, STUDENT, MASTER'S IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY PROGRAM: They really try to promote outside activities, so it's a good way to learn leadership and advocating for our field.
YOCHEVED HOMNICK, STUDENT, MASTER'S IN SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY PROGRAM: The facilities are just gorgeous. The classrooms are spacious, they're modern, they're comfortable, well-lit, and they're up to date in all of the technology.
NAFTALI JAROSLAWICZ, STUDENT, MASTER'S IN SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY PROGRAM: I see Touro College as very cognizant of individual cultures and ethnic backgrounds. I feel comfortable that Touro College takes care of whatever my cultural needs may be.
KLARISSE MATHIS, MS, PA-C, ALUMNA, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT GRADUATE PROGRAM: Being in a different type of schooling, it is Jewish-based, but we had a pretty mixed class. So just learning to deal with religion, being with other classmates, learning their cultures and ethnicities and things of that nature, it definitely prepared me going into the real world.
SHAINA MUSKAT, STUDENT, PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT GRADUATE PROGRAM: I would tell another student thinking about coming to Touro to look at Touro's product. As a pre-PA student in New York City, I shadowed and worked alongside many Touro Manhattan alumni. I saw firsthand what excellent, top-notch clinicians they were and that made a strong impression on me. I wanted to be like Touro's product, so here I am.

Paint N Sip today for our nursing program students in Brooklyn! 🎨 🍷 🖼️ #bsn #nursingprogram #bsnstudent #futurenurse #brooklyn #today #paintnsip #sipnpaint #paintnight #touronurse #tourohealthsciences #art
"How does your culture impact your work as an OT?" Our #OT students answered this question through art - each student painted a representation of their culture then discussed with the class how that will affect their work as an #occupationaltherapist - this activity invited students to think about how the culture of their patients will also come into play during their work #tourohealthsciences #ot #occupationaltherapy #sharingculture #culture #art #culturalcompetency #tourouniversity
Last night we brought our School of Health Sciences reunion tour to a close with our final event at the Brooklyn campus! Alumni, staff, and faculty from our Nursing and Speech-Language Pathology programs came together for a wonderful evening of catching up with old friends and making new connections. A big thank you to everyone who helped make these events such a success and we look forward to doing it all again next year! #tourohealthsciences #wearetouro #nursing #speechlanguagepathology
The #FeelGoodFriday content we need! True ❤️ @ Touro! After meeting at orientation for the School of Health Sciences physical therapy (PT) program, class of '00 alums Lauren Rais (now Dillon) went on to marry fellow PT student Mike Dillon. “We fondly remember our first-time meeting, even down to what we were wearing. We were good friends and study partners for about a year before dating, and since our graduating class was so small, we kept our relationship secret for quite some time,” recalls Dillon. Fast forward over a decade, and now the Dillons' live in Pennsylvania with their two children. Daughter Ava will soon be attending the University of Delaware and son Owen plays lacrosse in high school and aspires to play in college. Dad Mike is Clinic Director at ATI, a nationally recognized rehabilitation provider, where he specializes in outpatient orthopedics. He’s dedicated to giving back to the community and has coached several lacrosse teams throughout the years. Mom Lauren is a board-certified Geriatric Clinical Specialist and started a company called DizzyFree PT, where she makes home visits focusing on vestibular rehabilitation therapy. She'll also be heading to Temple University this summer, where she’ll be an adjunct professor in the college’s PT program. #touroPT #dpt #physicaltherapist #lacrosse #rehab #orthopedics #geriatricphysicaltherapy #orthopedicphysicaltherapy #vestibularphysicaltherapy #vestibularrehabilitation #alumni #tourohealthsciences
