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. HISTORY Although institutions for caring for the sick are known to have been around much earlier in history, the first teaching hospital however, where students were authorized to methodically practice on patients under the supervision of physicians as part of their education, was reportedly the pre-Islamic Academy Of Gundishapur in the Persian Empire . The Sassanid era word ''Bimaristan'' literally translates into "Hospital". ( E. Browne , ''Islamic Medicine'', 2002, p.16, ISBN 8187570199.) Some experts further believe that "to a very large extent, the credit for the whole hospital system must be given to Persia". ''(A medical history of Persia, C. Elgood, Cambridge Univ. Press, p. 173.)'' SEE ALSO SOURCES |
