<p>I am pretty sure Johns Hopkins has the best Hospital in the US. I am also pretty sure that Columbia and Cornell co-operate the New York Presbyterian Hospital, also a top 10 Hospital. Otherwise, your list looks pretty comprehensive.</p>
<p>Lots of these have their hospitals far from their university campus: ie UC Irvine's campus is in Irvine, the hospital in Orange and UC Davis is located in Davis, but the hospital is in Sacramento. Of course having a hospital on campus is pretty much a nonfactor as far as getting a good premed experience.</p>
<p>It's a two edge sword. If you look at Emory's Annual Report, the revenues from their health care division dwarf the revenues from their undergrad division. Dwarf as in....it's probably most realistic to consider Emory as a healthy care company that has a side business teaching students.</p>
<p>Generally speaking, undergrad applicants should put blinders on and focus on the undergrad components of these universities. What the med school and health care divisions do are unlikely to help undergrads (and possibly could divert management attention, given that managers usually focus first on the largest divisions). A university doesn't have to own a hospital for undergrads to find opportunities to volunteer or intern in health related fields.</p>
<p>Tufts University has Tufts-New England Medical Center in the heart of Boston. (They also have a dental school and one of the top vet schools in the world.) And Harvard and BU, while not operating their own hospital, has major affiliations with Mass General, Mass Eye & Ear Infirmary, Beth Israel Deaconess, Brigham & Women's, and a host of other top-flight hospitals in Boston, the "medical mecca".</p>
<p>The University of Rochester's Strong Medical Center is adjacent to the campus. It has a hospital, medical research center, and a medical school.</p>
<p>I am told that this has advantages for pre-med students because of cutting-edge curriculum, work opportunities, volunteer opportunities, research opportunities, and advice from med school admissions staff and faculty.</p>
<p>This is probably true at other universities with hospitals or that have close affiliations with hospitals/medical centers.</p>
<p>CWRU has University Hospitals located right in the middle of their campus. Also Northwestern has their hospital located on the Chicago campus. There is a shuttle that runs between the Evanston campus and Chicago campus (about a 20 minute ride).</p>
<p>This is, for the most part, a moot point. As many have said, a lot of schools have affiliated hospitals that are in different cities (U of Kansas is in Lawrence, med center in Kansas City. U of Nebraska is in Lincoln, Med Center in Omaha. UT-Austin has affiliated med centers throughout the state), but no city with a national university is going to be devoid of hospitals which is really the only necessary component for someone to volunteer. If you're at a Research I institution, there's likely not going to be a problem finding some sort of research opportunity.</p>
<p>Michigan State has 3 hospitals IIRC, one in Lansing, one in Grand Rapids, and one in Detroit(this may be wrong but is how I remember hearing it).</p>
<p>I am not sure, but I would think that hospitals/med research centers affiliated with universities would be more cooperative and supportive of undergraduates seeking volunteer and research experiences. And, if the hospital is adjacent, that would be convenient.</p>
<p>yea UF has one. but the location doesnt make it a very strong hospital as Gainesville is a pretty small town so u wont have many ppl coming to get serious treatment there. its prolly used more for research than actual treatment and surgeries. In florida ur best bet is University of Miami's Miller school of medecine.</p>
<p>An adjacent or nearby hospital might also be a consideration for applicants with certain medical conditions, such as type I diabetes. It might be easier to find a specialist, a clinic, supplies, and emergency care.</p>

<p>This is because in addition to the main hospital on campus, Emory also operates sereral other hospitals and clinics throughout Atlanta. I think your point is rather moot.</p>
