Temple University Hospital Temple University Hospital is a 504 bed, academic facility located in North Philadelphia on the Temple University Medical School campus. Four residents are at TUH at any time: three on clinical service and one on research rotation. Office hours are held daily. These include general otolaryngology and specialty clinics in head and neck surgery, otology, voice and allergy. Four, full-time faculty supervise resident education. The surgical experience is rich in endoscopic sinus surgery, head and neck surgery, laryngology, maxillofacial trauma and otology. Special programs in cochlear implantation, skull base surgery and facial plastic and reconstructive surgery round out the resident experience.
Temple University Children's Hospital Beginning in 1998, the TUCH will replace St. Christopher's Hospital for Children as the primary base for pediatric otolaryngology experience. This 60-bed, full-service hospital is linked to an 80-bed Shriner's Hospital and the 20-bed Temple Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to produce a 160-bed medical center, devoted to the care of children. Clinical experience will include the management of airway, otologic and sinus disease in both normal children and those with complex congenital anomalies. Laryngotracheal reconstruction and pediatric cochlear implantation programs will be included. One Temple resident and one resident for the Philadelphia - New Jersey Osteopathic schools provide pediatric otolaryngology coverage.
Hahnemann Hospital This 600-bed hospital, located in center city Philadelphia is staffed by four otolaryngologists who provide an important experience in general otolaryngology. The facial plastic and reconstructive surgery program, headed by Richard Hayden, MD is highly respected in the region and provides exposure to microvascular reconstruction. Three Temple residents rotate at Hahnemann at any time. They attend office hours with the faculty, assist at surgery and are supervised in a resident's clinic.
