Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine

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 teach--evolving 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.
