Overview
- Temple University and AtlantiCare will launch a Lewis Katz School of Medicine branch in Atlantic City with an inaugural class of 40 students expected in 2029.
- AtlantiCare committed $50 million for the campus to expand clinical, research, and education capacity and to recruit and keep more physicians in South Jersey.
- Temple will use its one school, four campuses model, which delivers about the first 18 months of preclinical instruction remotely with centralized faculty.
- The Atlantic City site becomes Temple’s third branch campus and will host clinical training for third- and fourth-year medical students at AtlantiCare hospitals.
- Temple’s recent expansion, including a York, Pa., branch slated to start in 2027, could lift total medical school enrollment by up to 320 students, strengthening the local doctor pipeline and supporting regional growth.
