[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] A shield logo with a T and a flame on top appears. Text: Touro College of Pharmacy. The Manhattan skyline appears. Aerial view of Times Square.
[GRETEL MORALES MENDOZA] They say if you make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] A woman walks up to the Touro University building and stands in front of a large window with text: Touro University.
[GRETEL MORALES MENDOZA] And I think that's, honestly, so true.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] At night, traffic and people move along busy streets. The Empire State Building appears. Text: Henry Cohen, PharmD, MSc, FCCM, Dean and Professor, Touro College of Pharmacy
[HENRY COHEN] Hello. I am Dr. Henry Cohen, dean of the Touro College of Pharmacy, speaking to you from our state-of-the-art campus at 3 Times Square at the crossroads of the world and at the beating heart of amazing New York City.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION]
The Statue of Liberty appears. Students walk into the Touro University building. In a laboratory, students in white lab coats stand around listening to a professor. A professor and student in lab coats chat. A student wearing a face mask and gown prepares a syringe. A student pours medicine into a bottle. A student holds a medicine bottle and talks to a patient over a counter.
[HENRY COHEN] It's hard not to feel the vibrancy here. The energy can't be missed as you enter our campus, where each day, we strive to provide you with the most stimulating, supportive, and personalized environment and where, with focus and dedication, you will join one of the most trusted and rewarding professions.

[GRETEL MORALES MENDOZA] Touro was the right choice for me because it has opened so many doors.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] A student in a lab coat walks in a park. Text: Roberto Maldonado, PharmD Candidate, 2025, Touro College of Pharmacy
[ROBERTO MALDONADO] I thought pharmacist was a person that just worked behind a counter and came out with a white bag and said, here are your medications. That was my perception. How that changed was when I came to Touro.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] A student measures and pours medicine into a bottle. She then sits with another student at a table, and they look at a laptop. She stands before the Touro University window. Text: Firdaus Mohammed, PharmD Candidate, 2026, Touro College of Pharmacy
[FIRDAUS MOHAMMED] What I feel like I've learned over the past two years in Touro College of Pharmacy is that it's instilled in me the passion for health care. It's allowed me to understand the importance of serving my community and serving patients and being a voice for my patients when it comes to advocacy.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Gretel and Roberto walk up stairs together. Several frames appear side by side of students either posing and smiling or chatting.
[ROBERTO MALDONADO] What I got out of Touro was friendship for the people that are going to push you through this program. And you're going to push them through this program. And then at the end of it, what you find is what you call a family.
[ROBERTO MALDONADO] You want to be able to know that a program is really going to teach you, and it's going to set you up for success in the future as a pharmacist.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Students sit in a classroom at long desks. In lab coats and with gloves on, students sit at stations in a lab and work.
[HENRY COHEN] Your classroom instruction will be enhanced by working in our cutting-edge labs and with real-life, front-row rotation experiences at New York City's leading hospitals and at global pharmaceutical companies.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Roberto walks into Mount Sinai Hospital. Carrying a laptop, he walks on a hospital floor. Text: Roberto did one of his third-year rotations at Mount Sinai Hospital.
[ROBERTO MALDONADO] I hear the voices of my teachers from Touro every time that I'm on my rounds. It really helps me manage my patients. It helps me stay on point.
[HENRY COHEN] I am proud to say that our students have more comprehensive real-world experiences than most, if not all, other college of pharmacy students in the US.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Roberto walks down a hallway in Mount Sinai Hospital.
[ROBERTO MALDONADO] Touro provided me with an exceptional rotation experience. And the rotations that they offered were all over the city. The rotation experience is extremely important. This is where you're going to put everything that you're learning in academic into practice. And the way you're taught here, and when you bring it to the rotations, it's a whole different level. You'll have answers before they may have an answer. And your answers go deeper.
[HENRY COHEN] What makes us stand out from the crowd?
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] In side by side frames, a student places a blood pressure cuff on a patient's arm, students work at lab stations, and a student measures and pours a medication into a bottle. A professor stands and lectures, a banner behind him with text: Touro College of Pharmacy.
[HENRY COHEN] Our emphasis is dynamic, hands-on, real-time learning. Your teachers will be pharmacy education leaders who have extensive practice experience.
[FIRDAUS MOHAMMED] I decided to come to Touro because Touro is a very small school. So you really get that valuable one-on-one interaction with your teachers.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Students sit and talk at a table with a professor.
[GRETEL MORALES MENDOZA] You really get to connect with your professors. And they're so personable and so willing to help you. And of course, they all want you to succeed.
[ROBERTO MALDONADO] And they'll push you to think outside of the disease state. They'll say, can we think of something else?
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] At a graduation, a professor places a stole around a cap-and-gowned student's neck. She then shakes hands with Dr. Cohen.
[HENRY COHEN] When our students graduate, they are exceptionally well-trained, prepared for success, and are more than ready to hit the ground running at their top choice of employers.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Text: 99% plus. Almost every one of our graduates are employed right after graduation. #1. Our graduates work in the top hospitals in NYC. 23%. Almost a quarter of our graduates purse and match in residency programs. Roberto stands in front of the Touro University building, smiling. A student in a lab coat examines a bottle.
[ROBERTO MALDONADO] Coming to Touro has given me a huge edge. Their academic rigor is above and beyond. And they just prepare you to become the best.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Students stand in a group posing for a picture, smiling. Gretel talks to a patient over a counter.
[GRETEL MORALES MENDOZA] I feel so confident, so prepared, and so excited for what's to come as a pharmacist.
[ROBERTO MALDONADO] Touro has put me in a position where I'm going to go out and be able to find a job anywhere.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] A man moves around a digital image of a brain on a touchscreen. Computer code appears. A scan appears showing tissue and blood vessels on a skull. A machine spins capsules, and capsules move along a conveyor belt. A nurse injects a medicine into a patient's IV. A pharmacist grabs medications from a dispensing cabinet. A pharmacist hands a medication to a patient.
[HENRY COHEN] Health care is on the threshold of an historic transformation driven by artificial intelligence, technology, and incredible discoveries leading to drugs and therapies that were unimaginable just a short time ago. And pharmacists are playing a key role. There's never been a more exciting time to pursue a career in pharmacy, with options ranging from community to clinical to research to industry, and more.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] Roberto enters the Touro University building. He walks in a cap and gown at a graduation ceremony. A professor places a stole around his neck.
[ROBERTO MALDONADO] I'm entering school at 41 years old. And I'm like, is this the right move? Is this the right choice? Am I going to be good enough? Am I strong enough? I think I am. I think I proved that I am to myself.
[AUDIO DESCRIPTION] He stands outside in his cap and gown, smiling. Groups of students stand together, smiling.
[HENRY COHEN] Our world needs outstanding pharmacists. And pharmacists need the exceptional education that you'll get at Touro.
