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 primary care, hospitalist and subspecialty positions. The feedback our program receives from the subsequent employers and fellowship program directors of our graduates attests to their phenomenal clinical abilities!
Don't take only my word for it though. See what some of our current residents have to say, in their own words:

Moses Mathur, MD (PGY1)
“Temple has been a great place to transition from being a student to being a doctor. You have a great degree of autonomy. Whether you make your debut on night float, or on a floor team, you hit the ground running the minute you are on service, practicing your clinical judgment and making decisions. And if you are ever unsure, help is only as far away as your nearest senior resident, fellow, attending, or nurse. With a patient population so complex, and with a staff so approachable, you cannot help but learn something new everyday.” |

Rachel Sterling, MD (PGY2)
"There is no place like Temple – with one of the most diverse and challenging patient populations that can at times be draining, yet extremely rewarding. Nothing makes life better then working with the most amazing and caring group of residents that we have here at Temple. It’s so comforting to know there is always a group of people who are there when you need them. After training at Temple you can go into the real world confident that you will surely succeed. I wouldn’t trade this place for the world, and have never once thought twice about the decision I made to come to Temple. It’s home, and I love it here!.”

“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.” |

Angela Jain, MD (PGY3)
“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.
