Correct answers: medical schools, physician apprenticeships, and hospital facilities.

- Medical schools: medical training centers (not medieval universities) existed in the Hellenistic world (e.g., Alexandria) and within the Roman Empire; there were organized schools and rival medical “schools” of thought (Empiricists, Methodists, Dogmatists).
- Physician apprenticeships: many doctors trained through apprenticeships and by studying under established practitioners.
- Hospital facilities: the Romans had valetudinaria (especially for the army) and other institutional care.

They did not have medieval-style universities, and formal nursing homes were not a typical Roman institution.
