Noteworthy Items

In May, the LSUHSC Rural Scholars Track graduated 9 physicians who are committed to practice primary care in rural Louisiana. Seven of these doctors chose Family Medicine, one chose general Internal Medicine, and one chose OB/GYN. All will complete their residencies in Louisiana.

Family Medicine did great in the 2009 Match. Fourteen graduating seniors chose Family Medicine for their postgraduate training, and all but two chose to stay in Louisiana for their training. In addition all four of our residency programs filled their available slots.

The LSUHSC Rural Scholars Track was named the Outstanding Rural Health Program of the Year by the Louisiana Rural Health Association.

Welcome to the Department of Family Medicine

The LSU Department of Family Medicine is doing well. Our curriculum is stronger than ever, with the addition of dynamic physician teachers and hands-on workshops. Student interest in Family Medicine is on the rise. I am proud to say that fourteen graduating LSU seniors chose Family Medicine for their residencies, and all but two chose to stay in Louisiana for their training. In addition all four of our residency programs in the state filled their available slots.

Speaking of our residency training programs, they continue to grow, as we add new faculty members and enhance training opportunities. We now have 78 residency positions among our programs in Bogalusa, Kenner, Lafayette, and Lake Charles, in addition to our Geriatric Medicine fellowship program in Lafayette.

This is a very exciting time for our department!
