Temple Faculty Physicians, the academic practice plan of Temple Health, is made up of more than 500 employed physicians who are the cornerstone of clinical care and teaching for Temple's healthcare enterprise. These physicians practice in 20 academic departments encompassing virtually every subspecialty in modern medicine.
While remaining committed to our mission of serving patients in our North Philadelphia community, in recent years, Temple Faculty Physicians has expanded its geographic reach beyond Temple University Hospital's Health Sciences campus. Today, Temple faculty physician offices are located at Temple University Hospital and its campuses, satellite offices located in Center City Philadelphia, Fort Washington, PA, Oaks, PA, and various other outpatient settings. This expanded reach has brought Temple medical care closer to home for many of our patients.
