Current-cycle decision support
Turn confirmed information into a first practice
Clinic appointment access and fairness
Practise making a fair decision when access is limited. Review whether you identify missing information, weigh both patients' needs, and explain the next step clearly; then record the scenario again with one improvement.
Quick facts

Admission requirements
TouroCOM requires a bachelor’s degree or at least 75% of undergraduate credits completed, prerequisite coursework with C or better, MCAT scores no more than three years before planned enrollment, and the required letters. Coursework includes biology (8 semester hours), general chemistry (8), organic chemistry (7, with 3 biochemistry hours allowed toward the total), physics (8), mathematics or computer science (3), behavioral sciences (3), and English requirements when the degree was not completed in English. Regionally accredited online coursework is accepted.
Applicants use AACOMAS. Selected applicants receive a secondary application with a $200 fee, and the secondary includes Casper results. For fall 2027, the Casper window runs from March 19, 2026 through February 9, 2027, excluding the listed May 29 test date. Letters include natural-science faculty and a physician or accepted substitute (Touro admission requirements).
Important dates
- Early May 2026: AACOMAS opens for the 2026–2027 cycle.
- March 1, 2027: AACOMAS application deadline.
- March 19, 2026–February 9, 2027: Casper window for fall 2027, excluding May 29, 2026.
- September–May: interviews and campus visits are conducted on a rolling basis.
- After interview: Touro says decisions are usually communicated within two months. Confirm the campus portal for current secondary and interview instructions (Touro DO admissions, requirements).
How selection works
TouroCOM reviews AACOMAS applications using academic preparation, MCAT, research, clinical and extracurricular experience, community service, and commitment to osteopathic medicine. Selected applicants receive a secondary application; after the secondary, selected candidates are invited to interview. Final recommendations go from the Admissions Committee to the Dean. The school does not publish a complete weighting formula (Touro holistic review).
Interview details
Confirmed
Selected applicants participate in an informational presentation and a formal interview. The school says interviews and campus visits occur on a rolling basis from September through May, and applicants can select a campus; a candidate can interview at only one TouroCOM campus (Touro interview process).
Not published
The cited current pages do not publish station count, duration, scoring rubric, interviewer assignment, or a 2027 modality promise. The main page’s remote-interview statement is explicitly tied to the 2025–2026 cycle, so do not carry it forward as a Fall 2027 fact.
Who this program may suit
TouroCOM’s published process may suit applicants who can connect academic preparation, clinical exposure, service, community commitment, ethical reasoning, and interest in osteopathic medicine. Campus choice matters because Harlem, Middletown, and Great Falls have separate admissions and student-service locations (Touro DO admissions). This is preparation guidance, not an admission prediction.
Practice and next step
First practice: Record a timed response to the linked ethical-reasoning prompt, explaining how you would balance competing needs, communicate with the people affected, and choose a next step. Review one weakness, adjust the response, record it again, and compare both attempts. Use the second take for general TouroCOM interview preparation.
