TOUROCOM is committed to preparing students to become osteopathic physicians who uphold the values, philosophy and practice of Osteopathic Medicine. TOUROCOM places special emphasis on teaching and learning in the areas of primary care and the holistic approach to the patient. The College advances the Osteopathic profession and serves its students and society by providing a firm educational foundation, encouragement for research and scholarly activity, and participation in community service.

TOUROCOM will function as an integral part of the New York City/Harlem community, and work with the community, local schools, and other colleges and universities to promote the study of medicine, encourage continuing development, increase educational opportunities, and deliver Osteopathic medical services in a variety of community settings.

Students learn the latest strategies for the management and treatment of patients in a broad range of social and economic settings. In addition to focusing on primary care, the School emphasizes the promotion of wellness from prenatal through geriatric care.
