As a strategic partner across Temple Health, the Office of Physician/Faculty Recruitment and Retention is dedicated to advancing the missions of the Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (Katz) and the Temple Faculty Practice Plan, Inc. (TFPP). We do this by recruiting and retaining the nation’s leading physicians, educators, and scientists. 

Our services include comprehensive physician and faculty recruitment and retention, medical staff planning, physician relations, compensation, contracts and benefits support, resident and fellow education, human resource information management, and regulatory compliance. We provide responsive recruitment services while establishing and leveraging best practices in search and selection. 

Our innovative Onboarding Program ensures that all administrative and logistical needs are addressed before each new faculty member’s start date. Through structured orientation and one-on-one support, we help faculty transition smoothly into the Temple community. 

As Assistant Dean of Physician/Faculty Recruitment and Retention, I serve as your primary liaison. My team is committed to delivering an exceptional experience at every stage of the recruitment process. Whether you are starting your first professional role or exploring a new chapter in your career, we welcome the opportunity to introduce you to an organization that has been a Philadelphia institution for nearly 125 years—recognized for outstanding patient care, innovative research, exceptional medical education, and a diverse, socially conscious faculty, staff, and student body. 

Temple Health’s success depends on recruiting and retaining faculty from a broad range of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences. We are committed to fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment, believing that diversity enriches our learning environment and strengthens our community. 

Temple is a place where team members demonstrate commitment to our mission, strive for excellence, and pursue opportunities for professional growth. If you share our mission, we invite you to consider Temple as your future.
