North Philadelphia Campus - Philadelphia, PA

The North Philadelphia campus is part of Temple University’s vibrant Health Sciences Campus, which includes the Schools of Pharmacy and Dentistry. For medical students, home base is the Medical Education and Research Building (MERB), a spectacular 11-story, 480,000 square-foot structure featuring state-of-the-art facilities for education, research, and student life. 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 and residents/fellows in 45 graduate medical education programs. Medical students also have an 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.
