Our Work

Welcome to The College of Physicians of Philadelphia.

We are a not-for-profit medical, educational, and cultural institution with the vision of advancing the cause of health while upholding the ideals and heritage of medicine.  

Our Mission: The College, a Fellowship organization of physicians and other professionals, draws upon its rich history, talented staff, and unique collections to stand as a trusted resource to further understanding of health and disease for the betterment of society.

Everything we do works towards the goal of connecting the historical to the contemporary. Our audience includes not only the medical community and medical students but students in middle school through graduate school, artists, humanities researchers and scholars, and members of the general public. The unique focus of The College of Physicians combines science, public health and medicine, the arts, and humanities.
