Wayne State is mentioned in a story about how Oakland University and Beaumont Hospitals plan to open a privately-funded medical school by fall 2010. The announcement surprised many because Oakland had been one of four candidates vying to host a satellite campus for Michigan State University's College of Osteopathic Medicine. "They fooled me. They clearly dropped MSU like a hot potato," said Robert Frank, executive vice-dean at the WSU School of Medicine. WSU recently increased its class size from 270 to 300 students to help address the physician shortage in Michigan. Frank said he believes it is important for medical schools to collaborate and not compete. The article mentions that Wayne State has the country's largest single-campus medical school.
