Education

At the Katz School of Medicine, education is more than coursework—it’s a commitment to science, care, and health justice. Whether you're preparing for a career in medicine, research, or healthcare, you’ll find programs that challenge you to think boldly, train rigorously, and lead with purpose. Here, your learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door—it extends into labs, clinics, and communities across Philadelphia and beyond.

Through immersive research, early clinical exposure, and a curriculum rooted in health equity and innovation, Katz prepares you to solve real-world problems and serve where you’re needed most. From the Temple MD curriculum to our biomedical science graduate programs, you’ll be mentored by expert faculty and supported by a mission-driven community that’s shaping the future of medicine.

I know that Temple’s clinical training is amazing because I’ve been able to compare it with friends’ experiences at other med schools. But it’s the people who really set this school apart. It’s such a supportive environment. I feel like everyone genuinely wants to see you succeed.

Class of 2021

One of the many reasons I chose Temple Med is because beyond clinical care, practicing medicine is taught to include service and advocacy.

Hannah Calvelli, MD

MD & MA Alumna '24

My decision to go to Temple was based in part on its master’s in urban bioethics program. That really stood out on the interview trail, in addition to Temple being mission-driven and committed to serving the underserved population of North Philadelphia.
