Temple University School of Medicine
(Posted Nov 14, 2012) – For more than 120 years, Temple Health has been providing advanced care to the Philadelphia region, while leading in the discovery of new and better medical treatments. Today, Temple Health's physician leadership is building on its rich history and transforming one of Philadelphia's leading academic medical centers into a nationally renowned, top-tier medical institution.
In just the last year, world-recognized clinicians, researchers, academicians, and administrators have joined the organization in key leadership positions. We have launched advanced clinical endeavors such as our Robotic Surgery Program. Our School of Medicine has opened a strong regional campus at St. Luke's Hospital & Health Network in Bethlehem. We've expanded our clinical sites to include a new outpatient office in Oaks, PA and one soon to open in Fort Washington. And we've enhanced the care of our Board Street campus with investments like that in the new patient-focused Ambulatory Surgery Center.
With our new programs, research, and faculty, this is one of the most dynamic periods in Temple Health's history.
There are 18 clinical departments in the School of Medicine, composed of over 499 full-time faculty, 44 part-time faculty, 814 volunteer faculty, and 869 staff. Each department is engaged in education, patient care, and research. TUSM takes pride in the excellence of its teaching, service, and research programs. It remains fully accredited by the Liaison Committee on Medical Education. Each year, it admits 210 medical students and approximately 24 graduate students. Reflecting the excellent quality of a Temple medical education, its MD graduates are highly regarded by competitive residency training programs and have made significant career contributions to both medical practice and medical research. Many have become department chairpersons, deans, and vice presidents of major academic medical centers.
TUSM enjoys a close educational and working relationship with the Temple University Health System, now encompassing Temple University Hospital and its Episcopal campus, Jeanes Hospital, Fox Chase Cancer Center, and the Northeast Ambulatory Care Center. Major teaching affiliates include St. Luke’s University Health Network in Bethlehem; the Geisinger Medical Center in Danville; the West Penn Allegheny Health System in Pittsburgh; the Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Delaware County; and Abington Memorial Hospital in Abington Township. Combined with office practices at Temple and its affiliates, and those of highly qualified primary care and specialty practitioners throughout the Commonwealth, Temple students become experienced in caring for individuals with simple to highly complex illnesses in a variety of settings.
The Department of Surgery at Temple University School of Medicine (TUSM) is seeking qualified candidates to join its faculty of 6 highly skilled and dedicated trauma/critical care surgeons in order to continue to provide state-of-the-art care for the critically injured throughout all phases of recovery.
