Charlotte is the nation’s largest city without a four-year medical school; however, this will soon change.
On Tuesday, January 17, Atrium Health and Wake Forest University School of Medicine celebrated the groundbreaking for the first four-year medical school in the Queen City.
The school of medicine will anchor the Howard R. Levine Center for Education in the heart of The Pearl, the surrounding innovation district. It will be joined by Carolinas College of Health Sciences, which has announced plans to locate there, along with connections to Wake Forest’s School of Professional Studies and School of Business and other educational opportunities. Wake Forest University School of Medicine Charlotte – the second campus of the school of medicine, based in Winston-Salem – is expected to seat its first class in 2024 and open the following year.
