The Touro College of Osteopathic medicine (TOUROCOM) is a osteopathic medical school located in the neighborhood of Central Harlem in New York City. The school began classes in September 2007. It currently has a student body of about 322 students. The school is a division of Touro College.

TOUROCOM seeks to make higher education possible for promising students who wish to make the world a better place. In its search for qualified candidates, Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine (TOUROCOM) intends to make a special effort to identify and attract local students who will make a commitment to remain in the community, providing medical care to the population of Harlem.

Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine is located at 230 West 125th Street, diagonally across from the famed Apollo Theater in Manhattan's historic Harlem neighborhood. This brand-new medical school admitted its first class of students in September 2007. Its facility provides approximately 75,000 square feet (7,000 m²) devoted to state-of-the-art medical education. The School contains amphitheater-style lecture halls, classrooms, offices, support facilities, clinical skills training facilities, as well as technologically advanced laboratories. The virtual library includes more than 50,000 books and 1,000 journals, sophisticated virtual resources, more than 80 computer workstations, multimedia areas, and comfortable reading spaces.

In May 2009, students from TouroCOM worked with DKMS Americas (along with assistance from the Harlem community and the Apollo Theater) to arrange a Bone Marrow Registration Drive that resulted in about 200 new bone marrow registrants. The drive was inspired by the need to find a bone marrow donor match for Jasmina Anema, a six year old African American girl fighting leukemia. Jasmina died Jan 27, 2010 at 10:55pm.
