A teaching hospital is a hospital which provides medical training to medical students and residents. Medical students typically spend two or three years in a teaching hospital doing clinical training, after completing their preclinical training in the medical school of a university. Residents are physicians who have recently completed medical school and are in training.
Many teaching hospitals have strong links with a nearby medical school.
In the United States most students use a matching plan as their agent in selecting the teaching hospital they prefer among the hospitals that want that student.
