university hospital
A hospital that is affiliated with a university's medical faculty and, in addition to patient care, also conducts research and teaching. The abbreviation 'Uniklinik' (university hospital) is often used.
Für die seltene Krankheit wurde sie an das Universitätsklinikum in der Hauptstadt überwiesen.
For the rare disease, she was referred to the university hospital in the capital.
This word is made up of three parts: 'Universität' (university), the linking 's', and 'Klinikum' (large hospital/medical center). A 'Klinikum' is a large hospital, so here it means one that belongs to a university.
Er arbeitet als Arzt im Universitätsklinikum.
He works as a doctor at the university hospital.
In everyday speech, the abbreviation 'die Uniklinik' (the university hospital) is almost always used. The word 'Universitätsklinikum' (university hospital) is very formal and is used mainly in official documents, news reports, or administration.
Meine Tante liegt in der Uniklinik in Freiburg.
My aunt is in the university hospital in Freiburg.
The preposition 'in' is used with the accusative or dative depending on the context. Movement to this place is expressed with 'ins Universitätsklinikum' (to the university hospital; short for 'in das'), while being there is expressed with 'im Universitätsklinikum' (at/in the university hospital; short for 'in dem').
Der Notarztwagen brachte den Patienten ins Universitätsklinikum.
The emergency ambulance took the patient to the university hospital.
Common verbs used in connection with a university hospital are 'eingeliefert werden' (to be admitted/brought in), 'behandelt werden' (to be treated), or 'an ein Universitätsklinikum überweisen' (to refer someone to a university hospital).
Sein Hausarzt hat ihn an das Universitätsklinikum überwiesen.
