This had better help me get more business out of Carolinas HC (er, uh, "Atrium") now that MSD is involved.
Oh great, the Charlotte Law of doctors.
Wake will become one of few (maybe the only?) University that will be running two medical schools in two cities. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.
I thought Charlotte Law was a for profit that had nothing to do with UNCC.
UNC Charlotte pushed hard for Atrium to align with the UNC system, but the UNC Board would not approve it.Wake is in a different stratosphere of universities than UNC-Charlotte. I see absolutely no correlation between this project and the Charlotte law school.

Winston-Salem has a great research base whereas Charlotte/Atrium has the better clinical services base. W-S will most likely be the joint research base moving forward. At least that's my hope, because I'm directly impacted by the decision. Innovation Quarter is huge and a major player in both business and research, so to me it doesn't make sense to pick up and move when you've got a great thing already started.

It will be interesting to see how the second med school is developed.
Not a better clinical base, just larger...
I spoke off the record to someone in the healthcare industry, and he said some to the out of market talk about this deal could mean Atrium taking over Wake Forest Baptist. There have been lots of changes at the top of WFU Baptist in the last few years.
Again, this could just be talk from someone who is a direct competitor to Atrium and WFBaptist, but who knows.
