Teaching hospitals

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Oklahoma State University has the biggest osteopathic teaching hospital in the nation (and world...lol). They have the OSU-Medical Center right down the road from their medical school (I am from there 🙂 ).

Many have "teaching hospitals" (even my school, LECOM, does), and many of the state schools have ones similar to some MD schools. That said all that I know of are affiliated with some teaching hospitals in one way or another, but the real question is how many students per class will be trained at those hospitals vs. much smaller non-teaching ones.
