A teaching hospital is a hospital that’s affiliated with a medical school and teaches medical students, resident physicians and perhaps other learners. There is often a research program associated with a Teaching Hospital. As a patient at a teaching hospital, you will have the opportunity to have a variety of different levels of physicians caring for you, and thinking about your treatment. Many teaching hospitals have research programs so that newer techniques, medications and other treatments can be available to you there. Many patients are gratified to be able to contribute to the training of the next generation of physicians. In Nigeria, teaching hospitals are approved by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria for internship training and related matters.
