About the Residency
Located in a charming neighborhood in Philadelphia, Temple Health - Chestnut Hill Family Practice offers residents a community-based program within an urban environment. Our comprehensive curriculum and holistic approach to patient wellness provides an excellent framework for the art of family medicine. With affiliations at centers of academic excellence and outstanding faculty, our 18 residents are still at the very heart and soul of our program.
Our passion for family medicine centers around this specialty's distinctive breadth and ability to integrate the biological, clinical, and behavioral sciences. The anchor of our practice is the ongoing, personal relationship between patient and physician and the ability to integrate care and advocate for all patients.
