Teaching hospital

A teaching hospital is a hospital or medical centre that provides medical education and training to future and current health professionals. Many of these hospitals conduct medical research as well as provide care to the poor and uninsured. Teaching hospitals are usually affiliated with one or more medical colleges or universities and are often co-located with the medical colleges. [1]

The first teaching hospital where students were authorized to methodically practice on patients under the supervision of physicians as part of their education, was reportedly the Academy of Gundishapur in the Persian Empire during the Sassanid era.[2]

Teaching hospitals use a residency program to educate qualified physicians, podiatrists, dentists, pharmacists, veterinarians (those who hold the degree of MD, DPM, DDS, DMD, DVM, PharmD, DO, BDS, or BDent; or MBBS, MBChB, or BMed)[3][4][5][6][7] who practice medicine, usually in a hospital or clinic, under the direct or indirect supervision of a senior medical clinician registered in that specialty such as an attending physician or consultant.
