精英医院一般都在大城市(也是老中聚居地,嘿嘿)。

一些专科医院(比如肿瘤医院,儿童医院等),可以直接在US news 网站查找。
2. 二流精英医院:
当地医学院直属的教学医院。
注:大多医学院也都与一些社区医院有附属或合作关系,便于医学生了解社区疾病谱及处理等等。
3. 一些州府级城市,虽然不是”大“城市,但也有一些三甲级的社区医院。它们的医疗综合能力并不差。很多这类医院实际上也是住院医生培训点,属于教学医院。
4. 广大社区医院,比如county hospital,其实有些county hospital 并不小,可以划在第三类别里,比如美剧《ER》,就是以芝加哥的Cook county hospital 为原型的。
