Correct. I simply pointed out that Wingate was not stopped from anything related to their Pharmacy School.
My point was a Wingate Pharma School in Asheville wonât succeed if CH is there.
And I didnât think G-Boro was going to put one in A-ville as well. If so, thatâs not right either.
With former Charlotte mayor Pat McCory soon to be governor will our chances to get a real medical school in this city improve? I remember years ago when Pat was mayor he promoted the idea of UNC Charlotte getting its own med school. Isnât Charlotte one of the largest cities in the US without a med school? With an ageing population and the demand for healthcare services increasing doesnât our city/state/country need more doctors? A med school would be huge for the university and the local economy. Obviously, the state of NC would have to help fund the med school and they are tightening the budget now but I think it is time the university, political leaders, and Charlotte residents make the push for a medial school.
Nice idea. Wonât happen for various reasons, not the least of which is, this state has many more really pressing problems that need to be addressed first. And Gov Pat knows it.
All Pat has to do is change the name of the UNCCH Hospital School in Charlotte to the UNCC Hospital School. Itâs just dropping 1 letter out of 5 to make a 4 letter initials.
This will only happen in better economic times.
How much money does this even take? I mean, I feel like I could scrape together 10-15 centsâŚ
Think of all of the savings on inkâŚ
At one time didnât we have a few big names that were willing to bank roll a big chunk of this?

Not aware of any other people that backed us having a med school that were willing to provide funding, but maybe there were.
UNC sits on top of a lot of hospitals in NC. Iâm a UNCC alum (2009) and at ECU for med school now and our opportunities to rotate through hospitals outside of ECUâs hospital are limited during our third year. Most hospitals in NC that are teaching hospitals have some statement like âavailable to UNC students only during 3rd yearâ. Itâs a little frustrating that they have so much pull over the major hospital systems in Asheville, Charlotte Wilmington.
Thats fine though, Iâm happy being the âUNCC kidâ outperforming all the UNC alumni in class :

UNC is a monopoly. The lack of a REAL medical school in this city not only hurts UNC Charlotte but the entire region around the city, medically and financially.

Makes sense.
Yes, thats a known fact. ;D

I think UNCC will eventually get a med school. I think itâll take some time and a push from alumni in high places to get it done though.

Which hospital location does the above sign sit?
And speaking of sitting, this quote from the CMC website does not sit well with me.
[font=Arial][size=12px]Carolinas Medical Center-University (CMC-University) is the largest hospital in the University area, North Mecklenburg and southwest Cabarrus counties in North Carolina. Every day our physician specialists practice the kind of medicine that saves and enhances lives.[/size][/font]
[font=Arial][/size][size=12px]For more than 25 years, CMC-University has been a healthcare leader in the community and our staff of physicians and specialists are committed to advanced care for our patients.

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][/size][size=12px]University area??? Well, why donât they name THE university?[/size][size=12px][/font]
The UNC Medical School branch office is at CMC-Main.
Man I canât condone vandalism, but I could understand how that might happen in that instance.
uh⌠what else to people call the University Area? Would you prefer âUniversity Cityâ?
