university hospital
A hospital affiliated with a university that, in addition to patient care, also carries out research and teaching. It is the short form of 'Universitätsklinik' or 'Universitätsklinikum' (university hospital).
Er wurde zur Spezialbehandlung in die Uniklinik verlegt.
He was transferred to the university hospital for specialized treatment.
'Uniklinik' is a common abbreviation for 'Universitätsklinik' or 'Universitätsklinikum' (university hospital). The part 'Uni' stands for 'Universität' (university).
Die Forschungsergebnisse wurden an der Uniklinik vorgestellt.
The research findings were presented at the university hospital.
Pay attention to the preposition 'in' and the correct case: movement to this place is expressed with 'in die Uniklinik' (to the university hospital; accusative), while being there is described with 'in der Uniklinik' (in the university hospital; dative).
Der Patient wird morgen in die Uniklinik gebracht.
The patient will be taken to the university hospital tomorrow.
Common verbs used in connection with 'Uniklinik' are 'jemanden einliefern' (to admit someone to hospital), 'jemanden verlegen' (to transfer someone), 'behandelt werden' (to be treated), or 'operiert werden' (to have surgery / be operated on).
Nach dem schweren Unfall wurde er sofort in die Uniklinik eingeliefert.

'Krankenhaus' and 'Uniklinik' can both refer to a medical facility where patients are treated. 'Krankenhaus' is the general term and fits almost any normal situation. A 'Uniklinik' is a special kind of hospital that belongs to a university. In addition to treatment, research and teaching also take place there. The words can be confused because a 'Uniklinik' is also a hospital. If it is only about treatment, 'Krankenhaus' is often enough. If the connection to the university is important, 'Uniklinik' is more precise.
Wegen der seltenen Krankheit wurde der Patient in die Uniklinik überwiesen.
Because of the rare disease, the patient was referred to the university hospital.
