This has increased the levels of training and specialization that doctors are able to learn and focus onas 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 much later but it has now become by the 17th and 18th centuries. In Europe, the foundation trend was secularization of modern medical schoolshospitals that had begun during the Protestant Reformation.
