I misspoke-Often teaching hospitals combine medical education, research, and patient care in a unique environment where the next generation of doctors, nurses, and other health professionals are trained. They foster an environment of discovery and the latest advances in medicine. And What are the advantages of a teaching hospital?
Teaching hospitals provide a host of other unique advantages to patients like improved quality of care, new cures, and treatment therapies, state-of-the-art technologies, shorter length of stay for major illnesses, superior outcomes, and survival rates, specialized surgeries, and experimental medical procedures.

I have participated in a few trials that have gone on to be very successful procedures for others. I'm very proud of this. I was one of the first 5 people ever treated with proton radiation for lung cancer at MGH in the USA. The doctor who was in charge of this has been my radiologist for all of my radion treatments and they have all been successful. Hospitals like Mayo and MGH (Mass General) are the type of hospitals that we are talking about.

Does this help?
