The Katz School of Medicine offers MD degree training at two locations: the Medical Education and Research Building (MERB), located at the North Philadelphia campus of Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and St. Luke's University Health Network Regional Campus in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. 

The North Philadelphia campus is part of Temple University’s vibrant Health Sciences Center, which includes Temple’s School of Pharmacy and School of Dentistry. For medical students, home base is MERB, a spectacular 11-story, 480,000 square-foot structure featuring state-of-the-art facilities for education, research, and student life, including open research spaces, smart classrooms and a state-of-the-art 12,000-square-foot clinical skills and robotic simulation center.  

Directly across the street from MERB is Temple University Hospital—a world-class tertiary/quaternary hospital that serves as Pennsylvania’s leading safety-net provider for underserved populations and as a primary clinical learning site for medical students, residents and fellows in 45 graduate medical education programs. Medical students also have the opportunity to rotate at other Temple Health hospitals, at the St. Luke’s regional campus, and at our other clinical affiliate sites. The North Philadelphia campus is located just a few miles away from the city’s downtown area, which bustles year-round with arts, sciences, entertainment, and culture.  

Located in beautiful, historic downtown Bethlehem, the St. Luke’s regional campus offers all the benefits of a large academic medical center with a hometown, community-focused feel. Featuring a class size of 40, students benefit from outstanding mentorship and diverse clinical experiences. The medical education building is located directly across the street from the hospital. St. Luke’s University Health Network is a 14-hospital health system that serves 11 counties in central Pennsylvania and western New Jersey. With a Level I Trauma Center and a robust graduate medical education program, our students are well-prepared for residency and life beyond the classroom. St. Luke’s campus students can also rotate at Temple Health hospitals for clinical learning experiences in the final phase of the MD program.
