What is a teaching hospital?

RealAge answered:A teaching hospital not only delivers medical care to patients, but it also provides clinical education and training to future and current doctors, nurses, and other health professionals. Some teaching hospitals also do research and are centers for experimental, innovative, and technically sophisticated services. Teaching hospitals are generally affiliated with a school of medicine, and some may even be owned by a university or be part of an entire health system or network.
