Collins likely to remain UMass med school chancellor
By Liz Kowalczyk, Globe Staff
The University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester is poised to appoint Dr. Michael Collins as the new chancellor. A search committee recommended today that Collins, who has run the medical school on an interim basis for more than a year, be appointed the school's permanent leader.
He would replace Dr. Aaron Lazare, who stepped down after 16 years as leader of the state's only public medical school.
Collins is the former chancellor of UMass-Boston and the former president of Caritas Christi Health Care System, a large Catholic hospital network. UMass President Jack Wilson and the board of trustees must approve Collins' appointment.
