434-710: The United States beginning the early 1900s and they largely resembled those established by Johns Hopkins University , the University of Pennsylvania and the Lakeside Hospital in Cleveland. The hospitals that followed the example of these universities were all very large, technologically sophisticated and aimed to have a global impact through both patient care and scientific research. Additionally, these hospitals had large patient bases, abundant financial resources, and renowned physicians, advisors and staff. Many of
465-482: The center gradually declined. Al-Muqaddasi 's Best Divisions for Knowledge of the Regions (c. 1000 AD) described Gondeshapur as falling into ruins. The last known head of Gundeshapur's hospital died in 869. Several Indian mathematics, astronomy, and medicine practitioners traveled to Jundishapur to share their expertise. Subsequent reliable Arab-Islamic sources from later periods have verified this and highlighted
496-951: The city of Ahvaz in 1955. After Iranian revolution in 1979, the university was renamed to Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz but the twin institution kept its name Jundishapur.

Teaching hospitals often justify this additional cost factor by boasting that their quality of care rises above non-teaching hospitals, or ensuring the patient that they are improving medicine of the future by having their procedure done with medical trainees present. According to the Medical Journal of Australia , Australian teaching hospitals typically receive less funding for research than they do in similarly situated countries. The late 1800s and early 1900s saw several attempts at instituting
