A teaching hospital is a medical care facility that doubles as an institution for higher learning. A teaching hospital commonly operates in cooperation with a system of health care providers that offer advanced clinical training to those seeking various careers in medicine. A teaching hospital may run in association with a particular medical school, or exist as a peripheral branch of a university or college.
