Harlem, New York Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) MS in Interdisciplinary Sciences Pathologists’ Assistant MS Middletown, New York Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) MS in Interdisciplinary Sciences Middletown OMM Clinic Great Falls, Montana Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) MS in Interdisciplinary Sciences What Sets Our Medical School Apart A Focus on Integrated, Holistic Healthcare Our Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) program fits perfectly within the modern medical and healthcare landscape. We give students the skills and tools to treat the whole person, and not just their ailment or disease. Innovative Teaching Methods We use a unique hybrid approach for our instruction. For many classes, you’ll engage with the material online at home, and then come into class to discuss with your professors and peers. This method allows you to learn at your own pace and utilizes in-person class time for the most important part of learning – hands-on work and live problem-solving. A Supportive Learning Environment Medical school is challenging, and academic support and guidance is a crucial factor to success. We oversee each student to identify any roadblocks, and our dedicated faculty offer additional guidance and support as needed. Dedicated Students Our students are smart, ambitious, and passionate. They come from all over and are as diverse as the populations we serve. They are committed to careers in medicine and the privilege of providing for their communities. Our students care. And they care deeply — about helping others and supporting each other. We’re a Top School for Diversity TouroCOM has been recognized for our excellence in diversity from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine five out of the last six years: 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023. It’s a reward we take great pride in, as it recognizes our efforts to fulfill our mission to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in medicine.

Our Values Community We’re centered on community – the community in which we live and the community we create. In keeping with our mission , we are committed to bringing medical care to underserved areas and serving the medical needs of our communities, in New York, Montana, and across the U.S. Compassion As a physician, your bedside manner, body language, tone and genuine interest in your patients’ health and happiness are an important part of your practice. At TouroCOM, we emphasize a compassionate approach to patient care and allow you to learn how to interact with patients in an effective yet caring way during patient simulation experiences. Innovation As a young agile school we always strive to stay up-to-date and ahead of the curve in how we educate and what we teachevolving to meet the needs of today’s medical students and tomorrow’s healthcare system. Diversity We’re committed to tipping the scales on underrepresentation in medicine. That means training a diverse student body and creating pipelines for underrepresented youth to become physicians . It means training our students to understand and be culturally sensitive to communities that are underserved in medical care, and encouraging our graduates to practice in underresourced and rural areas. In Montana in particular, we will provide medical education opportunities to the Native population and train our students to meet the needs of the local Native American community. Around Campus At TouroCOM #Harlem this week, 74 students received their M.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies in Biological and Physical Sciences. The one-year program helps prepare students for the rigors of medical school and those who achieve a 3.45 GPA and pass a comprehensive exam can matriculate directly into the school’s DO program. Takera Purdie is one of the grads who met the challenge and will start #medical school at #TouroCOM in the fall. She is also one of 10 #underrepresented minority students in the M.S. program to be awarded a partial tuition #scholarship from New York State to help diversify the physician workforce. Being a part of Touro’s master’s program not only gave me insight into what classes are like for first-year #MedicalStudents, but it also allowed me to prove to myself that I am ready to enter the next chapter in my life, which is attending Touro as one of their DO students! The program required a lot of discipline and dedication but after putting in all the hard work this year I’m so proud of myself for completing it,” said Takera. Congratulations Takera! . #Graduation #ClassOf2024 #Congratulations TouroCOM #Harlem recently held its annual Spring Community #Health Fair, an event aimed at fostering connections between our students and their #community. ??
