This year's list recognizes hospitals across 12 different medical fields-the top 300 hospitals for cardiology and oncology; the top 250 for pediatrics; the top 150 for cardiac surgery, endocrinology, gastroenterology, orthopedics and pulmonology; the top 125 for neurology, neurosurgery and urology; and the top 100 for obstetrics & gynecology.
The ranking is determined by a global survey in which tens of thousands of medical professionals were invited to give recommendations in their area of expertise. It also factors in accreditation data and patient-reported outcome measures.
This year's list features recognizable names-like the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and Charité in Berlin-and hospitals across the globe, with Australia, Brazil, India, Japan and Spain among represented countries. We hope this list helps you find the highest-quality specialized care whenever you might need it.

PARTING SHOT: Alan Cumming
AFTER THE MASSIVE SUCCESS OF THE TRAITORS LAST YEAR (STREAMING now on Peacock), host Alan Cumming knew this third season had to be bigger. “There was a pressure to not just repeat ourselves, it actually upped the ante.” And they did just that, with a more explosive cast and even wilder twists. “It is bigger. I’m sort of a cult leader. I’ve gone from just a dandy lord of the manor in his castle to official cult leader. I’m fine with it.” Cumming hosts a castle full of reality TV stars who all play a game of murder in the hope of winning upward of $250,000. But Cumming says their TV background has little to do with their success on The Traitors. “Everybody has this sort of myth that you have to be in one of those gamer shows to do well at this game, and it’s not true. Sometimes it’s actually good to have better social skills.” Last year, Cumming’s Emmy win ended RuPaul’s historic 8-year winning streak for RuPaul’s Drag Race. “I saw Ru and I went up to him and I just went, ‘I am so sorry.’ And he just went, ‘Con-drag-ulations.’ And I was like, ‘He said it!’” [laughs]
