medical educationClinical Teaching Sites
Temple University School of Medicine utilizes a variety of clinical teaching sites throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This provides medical students with an opportunity to see a wide range of medical disorders in people who have varied social, economic and cultural backgrounds, and to learn the management of those disorders in diverse ambulatory and inpatient settings. The Philadelphia sites include:
TUH is situated on the North Philadelphia Temple University Health Sciences Campus (HSC) adjacent to Temple University School of Medicine. The School of Medicine maintains affiliations with several major urban and suburban Pennsylvania hospitals, each with a long history of academic and clinical excellence. Four of these institutions: Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Upland, Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, St. Luke’s Hospital in Bethlehem, and the Western Pennsylvania Hospital in Pittsburgh, are comprehensive clinical campuses to which students may commit for all of their 3rd and 4th year clinical rotations. Several other sites: Abington Memorial Hospital in Abington Township; Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center in Johnstown; Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown; Scranton/Temple Residency Program (Mercy and Moses Taylor Hospitals); and Reading Hospital and Medical Center in Reading offer required clerkships and subinternships and elective clerkships. For their 3rd year Family Medicine clerkship, students may be assigned to either a hospital or private practice site in Pennsylvania or nearby New Jersey. All sites remote to the School of Medicine provide housing at no cost to the student. Students opting to spend Years 3 and 4 at one of the clinical campuses may establish residence in that community rather than in the Philadelphia area.
