Outstanding care, always.

Committed to Excellence in Patient Care, Teaching and Research

Kingston General Hospital is a principal teaching hospital for Queen’s University and is also affiliated with other educational institutions. Our learners are multi-cultural and multi-faith. As a teaching hospital, we provide expert care for patients who have complex and challenging illnesses.

Your attending physician has a university appointment and par-ticipates in research and teaching. An important part of our mission is to provide excellent patient care while educating and training future doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals.

During your stay in the hospital, male and female students and post-graduate trainees representing various health professions will be involved in your care. They will introduce themselves to you, however, at all times, your attending physician is ultimately responsible for your care and treatment. During your entire stay, your care is coordinated through the efforts of an inter-disciplinary patient care team.

As a patient in a teaching hospital, you have the opportunity to participate in training the health professionals of the future. Being a university and college affiliated hospital keeps Kingston General Hospital at the forefront of patient care, medical knowledge, and health related research. Should you have any questions regarding the involvement of students or post-graduate trainees in the delivery of your care, please discuss them with your attending physician or the nurse in charge.
