(SUNIL ABRAHAM) Touro was built with the intention of being one of the very first fully digital dental schools in the country.

So there is really no wait for them to get their hands on technology.

We can talk about school, we can talk about sports, we can talk just about de-stressing. I love my students here. (TEXT) Daniela Benzaquen, Class of 2024...
