Charlotte is currently the largest U.S. city without a four-year medical school. The new facility will be located near Atrium’s main hospital campus. 

The Wake Forest University School of Medicine Charlotte will accept its first class in 2024. The campus can support more than 3,500 students. 

The medical school building will total 60,000 square feet and will be located in Charlotte’s upcoming innovation district known as the Pearl. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
