Teaching Hospital

A medical facility affiliated with a university or medical school where healthcare professionals, such as doctors and nurses, receive hands-on training and education. Teaching hospitals play a crucial role in medical education, research, and patient care.

 

Residency Program:

Specialized training programs for medical school graduates, conducted within teaching hospitals. Residents work under the supervision of experienced physicians to gain practical skills and knowledge in their chosen medical specialty.

 

Attending Physician:

A fully qualified and experienced doctor who oversees and mentors residents and medical students. Attending physicians are responsible for patient care, decision-making, and ensuring the educational growth of their trainees.

 

Grand Rounds:

Regular meetings or presentations within teaching hospitals where medical cases, research findings, and innovative treatments are discussed. Grand Rounds serve as a platform for learning, collaboration, and professional development.

Medical Rounds:

Daily bedside visits conducted by medical teams, including residents and attending physicians. These rounds involve reviewing and discussing the medical condition and treatment plan of each patient, fostering collaborative decision-making.

 

Simulation Center:

A facility within the teaching hospital equipped with lifelike mannequins and advanced medical simulation technology. Medical professionals use this space to practice and refine their skills in a controlled environment before working with real patients.

 

Clinical Clerkship:

Rotations undertaken by medical students in various medical specialties during their clinical years. These hands-on experiences within a teaching hospital expose students to different medical disciplines, helping them make informed career choices.

 

Teaching Rounds:

Educational sessions where attending physicians, residents, and medical students discuss medical cases, share knowledge, and engage in critical thinking. These rounds contribute to the continuous learning and professional growth of the healthcare team.

 

Interprofessional Education (IPE):

Collaborative learning experiences involving students from different healthcare disciplines, such as medicine, nursing, and pharmacy. IPE fosters teamwork and communication skills essential for delivering comprehensive patient care.

 

Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM):

The integration of the best available scientific evidence with clinical expertise and patient values in decision-making. Teaching hospitals emphasize the importance of practicing medicine based on the latest research findings to ensure high-quality patient care.
