Temple University Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

Temple University Hospital's Neurology Residency is an academic, university-based program rooted in serving the North Philadelphia community, with categorical positions requiring an internal medicine PGY1 year at Temple before progressing into three years of neurology training. Residents rotate across Temple University Hospital's main campus, the Jeanes Campus, and Nemours Children's Hospital, giving exposure to a clinically complex, urban safety-net population spanning adult and pediatric neurology. Faculty provide structured, longitudinal research mentorship - from question formulation through IRB submission and manuscript drafting - explicitly intended to build a foundation for residents pursuing academic and fellowship-oriented careers, and the program highlights its residents' subsequent success in matching competitive subspecialty fellowships. The program values resilience, teaching engagement (residents progressively teach junior trainees and students), and scholarly output as core markers of a successful trainee.
