Changes

==Conclusion==

Today, many types of hospitals are found, which are funded by government, private donors, or religious institutions. All of these bases of support had their origin from ancient, Medieval, and early modern developments. Specializing has, if anything, increased, where even more specialized departments with hospitals are found. This has increased the levels of training and specialization that doctors are able to learn and focus on as hospitals are now commonly used as educational and healthcare institutions. Teaching and hospitals were first closely linked during the Sassanian and Islamic periods. The teaching of anatomy, clinical practice, and theoretical training or lectures on medical knowledge were already aspects taught in these earlier institutions and that practice developed in Europe by the 17th and 18th centuries. In Europe, the trend was secularization of hospitals that had begun during the Protestant Reformation.
