Policlinico Universitario
I am stuck on this term for an assignment, perhaps "university hospital" or "university polyclinic"?
Here is the ST for context:
Il Policlinico Universitario “Agostino Gemelli”, inaugurato nel luglio del 1964, è il Policlinico della Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia dell’Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.
Il Policlinico "A. Gemelli" è inserito nel Servizio Sanitario come ospedale di rilievo nazionale di alta specializzazione ed opera, in armonia con i principi ispiratori, con costante attenzione alle esigenze umane, etiche e spirituali, per l’assolvimento dei compiti, egualmente prioritari, della didattica, della ricerca scientifica e dell’assistenza ai malati.
Il 10 luglio 1964, a Roma, inizia ufficialmente l’attività il Policlinico universitario “Agostino Gemelli”. Nasce tre anni dopo l’inaugurazione della Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia dell’Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, avvenuta il 5 novembre 1961 alla presenza di Papa Giovanni XXIII.
Porre sempre l’uomo al centro delle sue azioni, sia questi studente o malato: questa la mission della sede di Roma dell’Università Cattolica (fondata a Milano nel 1921 e presente in Italia con cinque sedi e 14 facoltà), che in soli quattro decenni da “un sogno” perseguito con tenacia dal suo fondatore, Padre Agostino Gemelli, è divenuta una città del sapere e della salute.
Facoltà di Medicina e Policlinico universitario sono un binomio inscindibile, un patrimonio per l’intera collettività locale e nazionale: un laboratorio nella didattica e nella ricerca medica, nell’organizzazione e nella gestione della sanità che può a ragione essere definito “modello Gemelli”.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Outpatient clinics/day hospital
At least in some other EU languages, policlinico signifies various clinics housed in a building belonging to a university hospital.
Outpatient Clinic, of the University Hospital
Ref.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyclinic
... homonym of polyclinic is policlinic, where poli means "city" and which is sometimes used for a hospital's outpatient department.
NB: "Clinics" is wrong. So is Polyclinic and so is Hospital.
University Polyclinic

ABSTRACT
Internationally, the polyclinic has been a feature of many health systems. The recent UK policy shift
towards enhanced coordination of care closer to home resulted in the development of polyclinics
most notably in London. This paper explores the background to the development of polyclinics and
draws on the early experience of developments in London to explore what their impact has been,
and is likely to be, on community nursing.

Discussion
clinica does not necessarily imply outpatients
Delle particolari aziende ospedaliere sono anche le aziende ospedaliere universitarie, o "policlinici universitari", costituite con decreto del rettore delle università italiane, con funzione sia di assistenza sanitaria pubblica che didattica universitaria, e dotate di autonoma strategia gestionale. Nel contempo sono strutture sanitarie di ricovero e cura accreditate del servizio sanitario nazionale.

Il Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli è il più grande ospedale di Roma, centro di ricerca e Fondazione.
treccani on "policlinico"
policlìnico s. m. [dal fr. policlinique s. f., comp. del gr. πόλις «città» e di clinique «clinica»; propr., dunque, «clinica cittadina», ma la parola è stata sentita come composta con il gr. πολύς «molto» (v. poli-), donde l’attuale significato.; cfr., in francese, la coesistenza, con policlinique, di polyclinique, con significati simili, mentre in inglese la grafia odierna è esclusivamente polyclinic (in origine policlinic)] (pl. -ci). – Istituto ospedaliero o ambulatoriale, pubblico o privato, per la cura di malattie appartenenti a specialità mediche differenti.
https://www.policlinicogemelli.it/en/patient-services/,
carefully explains that the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario is the University Hospital. The question is what Policlinico Universitario means, which is and must be "Outpatient Clinic of the University Hospital".
"Fondazione Policlinico Universitario" is the confusing name that the institution gives to the University Hospital (based on my reading of the reference).
