About the program
Temple's Chestnut Hill Family Medicine Residency is a community-based, three-year program in northwest Philadelphia, with clinic sites at Chestnut Hill and Manayunk and inpatient training at Chestnut Hill Hospital. The director's welcome says it has graduated over 200 residents. Curriculum features a geriatrics block with long-term care and homebound patients, a one-month palliative care rotation, sports medicine linked to Temple's fellowship (with POCUS), a longitudinal community health and advocacy curriculum, and an addiction medicine curriculum with buprenorphine training. All residents complete scholarly, QI and community advocacy projects. Friday didactics are protected time.

Program highlights
- Ask about the three required projects (scholarly activity, quality improvement, community advocacy) and give an example of a community project you would build, such as the resident-created clinic food pantry.

- Sports medicine and MSK: curriculum is tied to Temple's Sports Medicine Fellowship with event coverage, college training room time and POCUS teaching; ask how much procedural volume interns get.
- Addiction medicine: all residents complete buprenorphine training and manage OUD in MAT centers and continuity clinic; discuss any SUD, chronic pain or acupuncture interest.
- Ask about the call model: 12-hour intern weekend shifts, upper-year night float Sunday-Thursday, and how the Balint group and Intern Return program support the PGY-1 transition.
- Ask about graduate outcomes: the post-residency page lists primary care jobs and geriatrics, palliative and reproductive health fellowships.
