Advantages of a Teaching Hospital

At University Hospital - where a primary mission is to "teach the next generation of health professionals" - you'll find excellent primary care and routine patient services side-by-side with nationally recognized centers of excellence.

Of 6,003 hospitals in the United States, only about 400 are teaching hospitals-"classrooms" for physicians, nurses, and other health professionals and providers.

Our collaboration with the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio and others provides our patients with access to cutting edge research and medical breakthroughs.
