Touro University College of Medicine was a proposed medical school to be based out of Hackensack, New Jersey.

[1] The first proposed location of the school was on the campus of the former Pascack Valley Hospital (PVH) in Westwood, New Jersey, which had closed after declaring bankruptcy in November 2007.

[2] For the school to have become accredited and begin to admit students, it needed to undergo a site visit by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME).

[3] This was scheduled a year in advance for a visit in March 2008, but HUMC and Touro did not close on the newly purchased Pascack Valley Hospital property until April 30, 2008.

[4][5] In September 2008, Touro backed out of their deal with HUMC, proposing instead to open their medical school in Hasbrouck Heights,[6] while HUMC independently opened a satellite emergency department on the Westwood campus, called Hackensack University Medical Center North at Pascack Valley on October 1, 2008.
