    About the Community

    Temple is regarded as one of the best areas to live and work in Texas and was ranked the sixth most affordable

    place to live in the U.S. in 2019. In addition to no state taxes, Temple enjoys a robust economy, and a cost of living

     

    that’s lower than the national average. Served by four independent school districts and nationally recognized Temple

     

    College, the community places a high priority on education. Dubbed the “Wildflower Capital of Texas,” Temple lies

     

    along the famous Texas Wildflower Trail and is the demographic center of the state, with convenient access to major

     

    cities including Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.

    This is an excellent opportunity to educate, motivate and mentor future dermatologists, pediatricians, and other

    physicians in a pleasant academic setting which will support and appreciate you. Our faculty will become your friends.

    The patient population is quite diverse, with opportunities to serve the medically underserved and those from other

    cultures. The waiting list for Pediatric Dermatology patients is 4-6 months long, and unmet opportunities abound at

     

    McLane Children’s Hospital, and, for a pediatric dermatologist, a more equitable compensation package than private

     

    equity could offer.
