What is a university hospital?

Working at a university hospital

A university hospital, short for university clinic, is a hospital that is affiliated with a university and is active in research and teaching in addition to providing healthcare. University hospitals are important institutions in the healthcare sector because they often offer specialized and highly complex medical treatments.
