The Relationship between Healthcare and Medical Schools
Most Medical schools provide very large amounts of patient care to the population. There are more than 100,000 clinical faculty in medical schools and over 100 Academic Health Centers. Most of these physicians operate through what are called Faculty Practice Groups with business relationships with the Academic Health Centers (AHC) and other hospitals.
Academic Health Centers are vital providers of patient care, from basic to advanced, and offer comprehensive as well as cutting-edge treatment. Their large portfolios of research generate new ideas, leading to novel concepts and therapies.
Today, AHC are recognized as national economic engines and complex business enterprises. In collaboration with affiliated institutions it is our intention to develop an AHC.
