What is a teaching hospital?
A teaching hospital or academic medical center is a hospital
that is associated with a major medical school such as UC Davis.
Teaching hospitals train medical students, nursing students,
residents and others to become skilled medical professionals.
When you come to UC Davis Orthopaedics for an appointment,
you may be examined initially by a resident. After the
examination, the resident will present the clinical data to
the attending physician, who will then examine you and
review the studies available. Your care will always be anchored
by one of our many experienced, board-certified physicians.
