Overview

About TouroCOM New York (DO)

Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine New York (TouroCOM NY) is an urban osteopathic medical school affiliated with Touro University, a Jewish-sponsored institution with a mission of serving underserved communities. TouroCOM NY operates two New York campuses: the primary Harlem campus in upper Manhattan and a second campus in Middletown in the Hudson Valley.

Founded in 2007, TouroCOM has built a strong identity around urban community health, diversity, and training physicians for New York's most underserved neighborhoods.

What makes TouroCOM New York (DO) different

Applications via AACOMAS. TouroCOM's Harlem campus is one of only a handful of osteopathic medical schools located in a major urban core — and Harlem's history as a center of African American culture and its ongoing health disparities make it a uniquely meaningful training environment.

Touro's Jewish-sponsored heritage emphasizes community service and social justice in a way that distinguishes it from secular DO programs. The dual campus model (Harlem + Middletown) offers different urban and semi-rural clinical contexts.
