Evanston Northwestern Healthcare (ENH) and University of Chicago will join hands to train U of Chicago medical students.
For the Northwestern University medical students we currently train, the feelings are mixed. Perhaps this is fear of the unknown. Perhaps the feelings are justified. I spoke with a third-year medical student who felt that the ripple effect has already taken hold and worries that their training will be viewed differently when they apply for jobs. What is clear, is how vulnerable they feel during the upcoming transition period and the uncertainty of their continued training.
For faculty members here at ENH, too, many questions remain: what will be the new name of ENH? (Expect an announcement soon, now that ENH can move on.) What benefits for faculty members will convey from the former Northwestern affilitation agreement to the new affiliation agreement with U of Chicago? Who will keep their academic appointments and who will lose them?
One thing's for sure: there'll be lots of changes. Let's hope they're for the better.

how about evanston university of chicago hospital?
euch?
it seems like that is quite a drive for the medical students from hyde park. wonder how they will resolve that?
as for the northwestern medical student worrying about this change impacting the perception of their training, i can't imagine who would possibly care whether a medical school rotation occurred at enh or feinberg/nums or whatever they call it now?

It's also a long drive for the medical students from Streeterville (Northwestern). Hyde Park is only 9 miles (driving distance) south of there.
As for the new name, I propose Evanston Healthcare. My other ideas: Evanston Health Care and Evanston Health System.
I believe it will be Univerity Health Systems of the North Shore...(I am gagging)
