The Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine (TouroCOM) is a private medical school with a main campus in the neighborhood of Central Harlem in New York City and additional campuses in Middletown, New York and Great Falls, Montana. It is a division of the Touro College and University System.[6]

The college's inaugural class graduated in 2011.[7] It was the first medical school to open in New York State in nearly 30 years and is the first osteopathic medical school with a special emphasis on training minority doctors.[8] TouroCOM currently has a student body of about 1,080 students.[4]

TouroCOM has a stated goal of particularly identifying and recruiting students willing to make a commitment to practice in underserved communities.[9] The Harlem neighborhood has been designated by the federal government as underserved by medical professionals.[10] Community service events such as free health counseling, screenings, and flu shots are offered to local residents by students and faculty several times a year.[11]
