John Aikin insists on the role of hospitals in the advancement of medical science. First of all, with regard to teaching. Since the founding in 1658 of a clinical school at the Leiden hospital, the use of hospitals as a teaching ground had continued to grow, which Aikin was pleased about and which others sometimes deplored as having disadvantages for the sensitivity, or even the health, of patients. The organization of hospitals as places of teaching and research is the source of our current university hospitals.
