Research is an important part of any medical school and we have research taking place on all of our campuses. Students are exposed to research and learn the scientific method. Our faculty develop research projects that furthers medical knowledge, leads to new treatments and approaches, advances medical education, and engage in clinical research. We look at patient populations, social determinants, and how we can improve general health of community and apply that knowledge in our health fairs and community outreach. We're committed to continued research with a strategic plan for increased research at TouroCOM.
Research on the Harlem campus is innovative and dynamic with topics of study spanning a broad range of biomedical research areas. Faculty investigators aim to make valuable contributions to their fields of study while also training our medical students in the skills necessary to become successful clinical investigators. With fully equipped labs at our disposal, TouroCOM faculty are at the forefront of discovery and advancement.
The growing laboratory facilities in Middletown support a diverse collection of faculty research interests and is where our student hone their techniques as future physician-scientists. Paired with the TouroCOM Middletown Research Incubator that has brought new collaborators and projects to campus, there is a dynamic and growing research culture on campus.
TouroCOM Montana has extensive research, including that in partnership with the McLaughlin Research Institute. Research focuses on integrated biomedical and rural health research including projects on Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, macular degeneration, ALS, diabetes, mental health, and suicidality.
