A teaching hospital, or academic medical center, is a hospital that partners with medical and nursing schools, education programs, and research centers to improve health care through learning and research. By being at the forefront of medical education and research innovations, teaching hospitals help improve the quality of care, develop state-of-the-art technologies, and train the next physicians and surgeons. As a teaching hospital, LDS Hospital incorporates medical residents and research collaborators from across the nation into the hospital.
