“I picked Temple for so many reasons. The first of which is its reputation for being the coolest department in the hospital. The faculty and fellows are known to be kind, welcoming, and always excited to teach. My second reason is for Temple's breadth of transplant physiology and opportunities in harm reduction. I truly feel like I am learning from the best of the best!”

“I am so grateful to have matched into Temple Infectious Diseases Fellowship! One of the reasons chose Temple is because of the welcoming, inclusive and supportive atmosphere I noticed during my interview day. It felt like a place where I could thrive both personally and professionally, as well as a genuinely fun place to work! As an ID fellowship applicant, I was particularly drawn to the program's reputation for offering a wide breadth of pathology and efforts to give back to the community”

"I ultimately chose Temple ID for my fellowship training because this program checked off a lot of boxes. I had a great experience on my interview day, which consisted of many laughs and warm and friendly conversations. Additionally, I was super excited to work with the patient population that Temple serves, and see a wide variety of pathologies."
Elijah Clayton
"I chose Temple ID because I knew from my experience as a medical student that the program was top notch. I was looking for rigorous training where I would learn to take care of the sickest patients but also love coming into work everyday. The atmosphere and learning environment that Temple provides allows me to do just that!"
Jesse Veisblatt
"I was a Temple IM resident. I picked Temple ID because I saw how well-liked the department was, and I always wanted to be the consultant people were happy to call. My favorite antibiotic changes a lot but right now it's Ceftriaxone. Just an absolute broad-spectrum workhorse that doesn't get the spotlight but really carries the day. Some fun facts about me: I am an avid rock climber (only sport climbing, I'm actually a coward) and I am a lover of chess (I'm actually not that good, I just like it). Temple ID may be the right fit for you if you are interested in a wide breadth of pathology in patients from all walks of life and a supportive department to help you learn and grow."
Andrew Cox
"I was so excited to match to Temple ID! Having spent my student rotations and residency in the area, the impact of infections related to IV drug use became a priority for my training and there is no better place to practice holistic care for these patients than at Temple. Learning from some extremely talented and knowledgeable physicians about HIV care was also a big draw to the program, not to mention excellent training in transplant medicine with one of the highest volume lung transplant centers in the country. I know I’ll get a great well-rounded education among colleagues who share a passion for an underserved population."
