LSUHSC Rural Family Medicine Residency Program at
Bogalusa Medical Center

Rural Family Medicine presents an exciting and challenging opportunity for family physicians. Instead of being hemmed in by restrictions in highly competitive urban settings, the rural family physician has an opportunity to practice a broad scope of Family Medicine. Limits are usually based only on the physicians’ training, experience, and demonstrated abilities.

Rural Family Medicine physicians also get the benefit of providing true continuity of care. They often treat children, their parents, and their grandparents. They are there to deliver babies and then to take care of the babies and the post-partum mothers. They offer a full spectrum of medical care.

Please contact Elizabeth LeNoir, MA, Residency Coordinator, at 985-735-6735 for additional information about the program.
