Overview
Temple University Hospital (TUH) serves as the base institution for our three year PMSR-RRA residency program. TUH is a 721 bed, Level 1 trauma center that supports 18 other residency programs, 11 Fellowship programs, and over 500 general medical and surgery residents. We are also affiliated with the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine, although we consider externs from all schools of podiatric medicine. An externship is strongly recommended for consideration of a residency spot.
In addition to TUH, we have associations with Temple Episcopal Hospital, Temple Jeanes Hospital, Temple Foot and Ankle Institute, Temple University Hospital Limb Salvage Center, Abington Memorial Hospital, and Sinai Hospital's Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics in Baltimore, MD.

Academic Responsibilities
Podiatric Surgical Residents at TUH are expected to fulfill their academic duties bi-weekly at academic rounds. Some of these duties include case presentations, academic presentations, journal club, radiology rounds and attendance at various hands-on workshops.
