[4] TouroCOM has a stated goal of particularly identifying and recruiting students willing to make a commitment to practice in underserved communities.

[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.

[6] In 2009, students from Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine 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.

[13] 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, who died in 2010.

Approximately 60 percent of Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine students work in primary care following graduation.

[20] In August 2014, a larger campus that occupies 110,000 square feet of space in the Horton complex opened in Middletown, New York.

[24] TouroCOM launched MedAchieve Scholars in 2012, a program that encourages students from underrepresented groups to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

[32][33] In 2015, the NAACP recognized the Harlem campus's efforts to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in medicine through the MedAchieve afterschool mentoring program, the Mentoring in Medicine program that brings local high school students into TouroCOM's anatomy labs, and the Fund for Underrepresented minority students.
