Pediatric Residency Program

Schedule By Year

The LSU Pediatric program is a fully-accredited, three-year postgraduate training program. In 2010, we were awarded a 5 year re-accreditation by the National Pediatric RRC. Each year is structured to allow maximum opportunities for growth in clinical abilities appropriate to each level of training. Periodic assessments and program content revisions are made in an effort to provide residents with even higher level patient-care skills and to foster integration and heightened interaction among all levels of training.
