[edit] Rename to "List of"

• There are many hospitals around the world with the name "University Hospital". I expected this article to be a disambiguation page for hospitals named "University Hospital", but this page seems to be more of a list of teaching hospitals. This list should be moved to seperate article under the title List of teaching hospitals, with a link to teaching hospitals. There is already a similar List of children's hospitals.

I agree with the above point. Also, many public and private universities which are not listed here have some fairly renowned hospital institutions. It might be useful to add a note that this list is not comprehensive (more like a tiny subset of all the university hospitals that exist). - HoosTrax 19:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Since no one has objected to this over the last year, I'm moving University hospital to List of university hospitals. List of teaching hospitals will redirect to List of university hospitals. I'm choosing university over teaching since this currently is a list of university hospitals. Having a list of all teaching hospitals in the world in one article might be overly ambitious. And there are already established categories for that (Cat:Teaching hospitals). University hospital will redirect to teaching hospital and I'll add in a sentence in the lead like "university hospitals are teaching hospitals affiliated with a university." --Scott Alter 21:48, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
