Campus
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. Its facility provides approximately 75,000 square feet (7,000 m2) devoted to medical education. The school contains amphitheater-style lecture halls, classrooms, offices, support facilities, clinical skills training facilities, and laboratories. The virtual library includes more than 50,000 books and 1,000 journals, 26,000 electronic journals, virtual resources, more than 80 computer workstations, multimedia areas, and reading spaces.
In May 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. 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.
