Rural Family Medicine Residency Program at LSU Bogalusa Medical Center

We are an institutionally-sponsored rural residency training program accredited through LSU School of Medicine – New Orleans. As a rural training program, we are located two hours north of New Orleans in the community of Bogalusa, LA, population 13,000.  Our unopposed 4-4-4 residency program is clinically aligned with the LSU Bogalusa Medical Center, one of LSU’s training hospitals.

Candidate applications for the upcoming 2010-11 academic year must be made through the Electronic Residency Applications System, ERAS no later than December 1, 2009.   

To be considered for an interview with our program, non-LSU School of Medicine applicants must 1) be U.S. citizens or permanent residents of the US (must actually hold a green card); 2)have successfully passed USMLE Step tests with a score of  85 or higher in no more than 2 attempts (candidate’s certified “USMLE Official Transcript of Scores” must be on file in ERAS); 3) hold an ECFMG certificate, if applicable; 4) have graduated from medical school in the past three years; and 5) have completed a minimum of six months of  clinical rotations as a medical student in the US during the previous two years, two of which must have been in Family Medicine.    

The new Labor and Deliver unit at our primary training hospital is open, and construction has begun on the expansion to the existing Family Medicine Center, which will expand clinical treatment areas and house the new residency administration areas as well as resident office spaces, the resident lounge, and physician on-call sleeping quarters.
