medical school
Classroom space for education in medical science, usually intended to train future doctors.
A medical school is a place where classes are held in the field of medical science, usually with the purpose of training doctors.
The subject is medical science and the usual purpose is preparation for medical practice. The definition does not require every class to involve direct patient treatment.
A hospital or clinic is not a medical school merely because doctors work there. The medical teaching function establishes this use within a building or complex.
