Teaching hospital

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Teaching hospital (often also an academic or academic teaching hospital ) is a name for a hospital where part of the medical course takes place. The teaching hospital itself does not belong to the university.

Teaching hospitals can be hospitals with different levels of care ; in some cases, specialist hospitals (e.g. a specialist orthopedic hospital) can also be teaching hospitals. The student education then only takes place for precisely defined sections in that particular subject. A teaching hospital is contracted to a specific medical school and only accepts students at that school for training. Teaching hospital and university are often in the same state ; a medical faculty usually has several teaching hospitals. The teaching hospital receives payment from this faculty for student training.

The term “teaching hospital” is also often found in the public presentation (for example in the letterhead ). Students are supervised in the clinical part of their medical studies , especially in the practical year . You can often choose for yourself whether you want to complete the practical year (or parts of it) at a teaching hospital or at the university clinic yourself, and there is sometimes a division.

The concept of practical bedside training for medical students was already implemented in the hospitals of Persia in the Middle Ages (see Medieval Medicine ).
