University of Maryland Medical System Shake Up

This week, University Maryland Medical System (UMMS) experienced a second phase of leadership change as Board Chairman John Erickson and nine other Directors on the 27-person Board resigned. Three weeks ago, UMMS CEO Ed Notebaert stepped down from his post.

Speaker of the House Michael Busch will attain interim-chairmanship of the Board. The Board also selected Robert Chrenchik, the current UMMS CFO, to serve as interim-CEO.

This shake-up is particularly relavent to USM students because of the close-nit relationship between UMMS and the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) Medical School. The UMMS CEO also serves as a Vice President of UMB. UMMS and UMB work together to bring recruit the most qualified faculty members and doctors to both practice at the hospital and teach in the medical school.
