 Welcome!                                                       

 Established in 1973, the LSU Emergency Medicine Residency Program in New Orleans is one of the oldest and most storied of Emergency Medicine Residencies in the country.

 

Historically, the Charity Hospital Emergency Department was one of the busiest in the country, offering care to over 150,000 patients annually at both campuses. Hurricane Katrina brought with it unprecedented change.

 

.LSU Emergency Medicine faculty and residents stayed in New Orleans during the hurricane and were the first physicians to respond in the immediate post-disaster period.  We have provided uninterrupted services since then in a variety of locations: a military MASH unit, floating Navy hospital ship, disaster relief camps, and local clinics.

 

 

Our unique training and adaptability as emergency medical specialists have allowed us to work, teach, and continue research projects regardless of the physical setting. 

 

 

The spirit of Charity Hospital is not found in a particular building, but in the hearts of the physicians and patients of New Orleans.

 

 

 

Mission

The mission of the LSUHSC Section of Emergency Medicine is to deliver superior patient care, foster medical education and research, and provide service to the community. Since 1973 we have offered quality, compassionate, nonjudgmental care for all patients with urgent to emergent medical needs.
