Wellness
The Wellness Committee
Each campus has a Wellness Committee, chaired by the Counselor and comprised of students from each class year. The Committee supports the mental, physical, and spiritual well-being of TouroCOM students. The Wellness Committee meets regularly to create activities and programs that facilitate wellness, discussion, and awareness of coping mechanisms for dealing with common issues for medical students.
Some wellness activities that have been offered in the past are:
- Yoga
- Exercise classes
- Kindness Week
- Movie Night
- DO Wellness Day activities
- Coffee and Donuts during Finals
*Since third and fourth-year students are located at rotation sites off campus, their participation on the Committee is limited.
Here are some resources that promote wellness for optimal functioning and performance:
