Kitchen graduated from the University of Pennsylvania College of Medicine in 1822. After studying medicine in Europe, he came back to Philadelphia in 1824 and became a prominent physician and homeopath. Kitchen played a large role in helping establish the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania and was granted an honorary degree in homeopathy by the College in 1856. The Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania was founded in 1848 to provide standardized training in the emerging system of medicine called homeopathy. In 1869 the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania and Hahnemann Medical College (founded in 1867) merged to create a new institution called Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia.
