How to prepare

A panel interview means several interviewers at once.2 Answer the whole panel, not just the person who asked, and ground your answers in specific examples from your own experience.

For a virtual interview, the AAMC recommends a computer or tablet over a phone, with the camera at eye level.3

Expect to be asked why Touro University California. Its mission is a good place to start: “The Mission of Touro University Osteopathic Medicine Program is to prepare students to become outstanding osteopathic physicians who uphold the values, philosophy and practice of osteopathic medicine and who are committed to primary care and the holistic approach to the patient.”1 Connect it to something specific you’ve done.
