Internal Medicine Residency Program
Darilyn Moyer, MD
Internal Medicine Residency Program Director |
Thank you for your interest in the Internal Medicine training program at Temple University Hospital. The Internal Medicine Residency Program represents the heart and soul of the Department of Medicine at Temple University Hospital and Temple University School of Medicine. We are committed to providing a dynamic, engaging education offering exposure to a wide array of clinical and research opportunities in Internal Medicine and its |
subspecialties for our trainees. The collegial atmosphere of our educational program, coupled with energetic, committed faculty, facilitates our house staffs' abilities to achieve their potential as practitioners of Internal Medicine.
There are several aspects of our program I believe set it apart from other programs at large academic medical centers. First and foremost are our house staff physicians; they truly represent the strength of our program. Their ability to be integral in the decision-making process is often cited as a major factor in their choice to come to Temple for their residency training. Temple has very few "private" attendings to coordinate care. In addition, since cross-covered patients are taken care of at night by a night float, house staff can focus their attention on managing their new patient admissions. Together, this all helps foster the confidence of our house staff as physicians, clinicians and medical decision makers. I believe that translates to their success in matching for subspecialty positions, as evidence by the fact that 100% of 2008 graduates matched in highly competitive fellowships.
Don't take only my word for it though. See what some of our current residents have to say, in their own words: |

Kyle Robinson (PGY2)
“At Temple, patients present with a broad spectrum of diseases, often at advanced stages. As residents, we are seen as their doctors and given the autonomy to truly be them. The mutual reward is amazing hands on medical training, and state of the art evidenced based care.” |

Haile Jones (PGY3)
“I would unequivocally choose to be a resident at Temple again. It has given me the level of confidence necessary to practice medicine that I feel every physician should possess.” |
|
Carlos Machado (PGY2)
“I like working in the Temple Internal Medicine Department because I get exposure to a variety of challenging pathology, while working within a team-oriented and pleasant environment.” |
 |
Amy Mackenzie (PGY3)
“When I was interviewing, I was told to look for a place where I could imagine being up in the middle of the night with the other residents. I couldn't understand it at the time, but having been at Temple with such fantastic co-residents who truly are supportive any time of the day or night, has made me realize the importance of that piece of advice. Whether it's another pair of eyes to look at an EKG or just an ear for venting, the residents at Temple have never let me down.” |

Angela Jain (PGY2)
“What I love about Temple's residency program is the residents. Everyone is always willing to lend a helping hand; you are never alone in the hospital, and never need to feel bad for asking for help. The patient population is the other great strength of this program - the patients are sick - and there is something to learn from each patient that you take care of in the hospital or in continuity clinic.” |
I hope you enjoy the information available on our website. Do not hesitate to contact us for any questions.
