Temple’s Section of Infectious Diseases has evolved greatly since its founding in 1969. Originally staffed by a single physician, the Section has grown to nine faculty members and six fellows. Each is committed to upholding the ideals on which the Section rests – superb teaching, excellent clinical care, and the advancement of science. In this Q&A, current and former faculty members and fellows share their thoughts on the Section’s 50-year history and the field of Infectious Diseases as a whole.

Temple recently became first center in PA to utilize Ion robotic-assisted bronchoscopic system in combination with Philips cone-beam CT and augmented fluoroscopy for lung nodule biopsy.

Temple's Maura Sammon, MD; Kendra Mendez, MD and Megan Algeo, MD recently traveled to a refugee camp in Matamoros, Mexico to join a volunteer clinic staffed by physicians, nurses and paramedics.
