Abstract
The mission of the modern medical school includes education, research, and patient care. The clinical clerkship is an important part of the core curriculum, and hospital facilities are needed for the clinical clerkship. However, unfortunately, education has moved to the periphery during the past several decades because of the dominance of research and patient care. This may lead to obstacles in the education of future physicians in the long term. To promote their education mission, teaching hospitals need to recognize and share the importance of this mission. In addition to the certification of teaching hospitals, a new paradigm for teaching hospitals should be introduced to produce a high quality clinical clerkship and postgraduate medical education. The relevant government departments need to allocate and expand financial support to medical schools and teaching hospitals, and to unify supervision of basic and postgraduate medical education.
