Welcome to 2025-2026 Temple PM&R Residents

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. — Good Shepherd Rehabilitation welcomed eight residents from the Temple University Hospital Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) Residency Program at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation.

Residents began orientation earlier this month, taking time to pose for a photo with Good Shepherd’s Physician Group (above).

This is the fourth year of Good Shepherd’s collaboration with Temple. The program matches future physiatrists — doctors who specialize in physical medicine and rehabilitation — for a categorical training program at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital in Center Valley.

Temple PM&R Residency

The primary aim of the Temple University Hospital PM&R Residency Program at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation is to train physicians who specialize in PM&R. For decades, Temple has been a highly ranked training program and was one of the first programs in the country to create a formalized residency program in the field of PM&R.

Good Shepherd’s physicians serve as faculty within Temple’s PM&R Department and have direct responsibility for the program’s success and integrity. Additionally, Good Shepherd departments collaborate with residents to explore and enhance opportunities for research, education and quality improvement.
