Continuing Medical Education
There is always more. More to learn. More to experience. More to understand.
Touro California's Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) understands that the world of medicine is constantly evolving and therefore professionals in the medical field must also continually evolve and grow. Toward that end, CME offers faculty development courses, live conferences and symposia, along with serial conferences and enduring materials.
Constant Improvement is Key
The careers of medical professionals change as medicine does. That means we at Touro California's College of Osteopathic Medicine (TUCOM) are in the business not only of pre-career education, but also during-career or continuing education.
Thus, it is our mission to provide educational activities for physicians and other healthcare professionals to improve competence, performance, and patient outcomes. We accomplish these goals by reinforcing basic medical knowledge, communicating evidence-based clinical information, sharing new research findings, enhancing professional practice, and introducing new ideas, skills and technology.

TUCOM Faculty Credit
