Examine the policy debates surrounding the clinical functions, educational contributions, and financial sustainability of major US teaching hospitals and academic health centers.
Characterized the national hospital landscape of over 6,500 nonfederal facilities to assess institutions participating in graduate medical education.
Identified major teaching hospitals based on an intern-and-resident-to-bed ratio threshold of ≥0.25.
Only approximately 300 nonfederal hospitals qualify as major teaching centers and fewer than 1,250 facilities participate in graduate medical education out of more than 6,500 hospitals nationwide.
Despite representing a small minority of facilities, major teaching hospitals provide essential high-technology specialty care, conduct medical research, and support a disproportionate volume of disadvantaged patient populations.
