Patients and trainees at Temple have access to our active inpatient consultation service that also supports world-class transplant, burn, and trauma units at Temple University Hospital’s main campus in Philadelphia. In addition, they have access to our extensive resources for outpatients, facilities for electrodiagnostic, ultrasound, and fluoroscopic testing and injections, and operating rooms for minimally invasive spine procedures, neuromodulation implantations, and intrathecal drug delivery systems. A well-appointed outpatient facility is also available in Fort Washington, PA.

The Department of PM&R at Temple is a major teaching center for medical students, residents, fellows, and allied health professional trainees. Our faculty is actively engaged in presenting scholarly reports at regional, national, and international meetings, publishing scholarly manuscripts and textbooks, and pursuing a variety of clinically relevant research projects. Moreover, a thermography laboratory was established in 2020 with the goal of providing a novel, objective testing method for chronic pain disorders. In addition to the medical staff, there are over 50 professional staff in the physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech/language pathology sections.
