A Message from Stephen C. Aronoff, MD, MBA
Waldo E. Nelson Chair, Department of Pediatrics

Professor, Pediatrics

 

The Department of Pediatrics at Temple University School of Medicine has three principal missions:

  1. To provide Temple University School of Medicine students with world class levels of instruction in the field of Pediatrics
  2. To provide world class quality of care to patients seen in the ambulatory setting at Temple University Hospital
  3. To provide new knowledge in the field of children’s health. 

The Department of Pediatrics at Temple University School of Medicine reached its worldwide prominence under the leadership of Waldo E. Nelson, MD who was the Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics from 1940 to 1964, editor of the Journal of Pediatrics and the Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics, generally known as the "bible" of pediatrics.

 

Temple Pediatric Care (TPC) is our ambulatory pediatric service staffed by board-certified pediatricians who bring private office practice to our community.


Sincerely,

Stephen C. Aronoff, MD, MBA
