ACOM and Its Affiliation with SAMC

Hey all, I have a question regarding ACOM... in reading through various other posts, I noticed a lot of people have cited ACOM's association with SAMC to be an advantage or one of the reasons why they chose to attend the school. I was wondering what exactly is the advantage of being associated with a teaching hospital? Does it provide unique opportunities for students compared to other schools that may not have a teaching hospital nearby? It is easier to gain hands-on patient care experience...
