About Touro University California

Pioneering health education on Mare Island: Touro, California's 2nd osteopathic med school.

Touro University California isn't just a school; it's a dynamic hub for aspiring healthcare leaders and practitioners. As a distinguished private graduate school, Touro is especially renowned for its pioneering role in osteopathic medicine in California, establishing the state's second osteopathic medical program. With a vibrant student body of 1400, Touro fosters a close-knit, mission-driven community, guided by its inspiring motto: "To Serve, To Lead, To Teach."

Born in 1997 in San Francisco, Touro quickly outgrew its initial home. In a bold and innovative move in 1999, the university relocated to the historic Mare Island, transforming former naval quarters from the 1930s into a unique and expansive campus. This creative approach to campus development, including key buildings like Farragut Inn, Wilderman Hall, and Lander Hall, creates an environment that blends rich history with cutting-edge academic pursuit.

Touro's commitment to excellence shines through its rigorous graduate programs, particularly within its esteemed College of Osteopathic Medicine. Students here are not just learners; they are future leaders being prepared to make a tangible impact in healthcare. The unique Mare Island setting, coupled with a deep-seated focus on service and leadership, offers an unparalleled student experience, preparing graduates to excel in their professions and contribute meaningfully to society.
