The Summer Research Opportunities Fair and Medical Student Research Day brought Katz students together to explore and showcase the exciting research happening at the Lewis Katz School of Medicine. First-year students discovered research opportunities, while second-year students presented their impactful summer research. Visit our gallery below to see highlights from this enriching event!

We are excited to announce that the Lewis Katz School of Medicine has updated its social media handle to @KatzTempleMed across all platforms. Building on the refreshed branding introduced last spring, this change reinforces that we are a named school and strengthens our connection to Temple University, while maintaining the distinct identity of Katz.

We encourage you to follow @KatzTempleMed for updates on the incredible work happening at Katz every day. Thank you for being part of this exciting evolution!
