Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine New Orleans (LSUHSC-NO) is located in a large medical complex covering ten square blocks of downtown New Orleans. It has six, individual professional schools: Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, Allied Health Professions, Public Health, and Graduate Studies. The school was opened October 1, 1931, in a nine story building adjacent to the 2200-bed Medical Center of Louisiana at New Orleans (MCLNO; formerly known as Charity Hospital of New Orleans). Historically, MCLNO has been, and continues to be, one of the major teaching hospitals in the south. LSUHSC-NO has statewide teaching, research, and health care functions, and is affiliated with more than100 hospitals and various health care institutions regionally, nationally, and internationally. In July 1997, LSUHSC took over the responsibility of administrating the MCLNO Charity Hospital System. Since being heavily damaged by Hurriance Katrina on August 29, 2005, Charity Hospital remains closed; however, exciting plans are in place to rebuild the Charity Hospital facility. Until then, our prestigious adult mental health inpatient units have relocated to the campuses of the New Orleans Adolescent Hospital and DePaul Hospital, which are both located in the beautiful Uptown area and continue to provide exceptional and urgently needed services to our region's patients living with severe mental illness.

Within the past decade, LSUHSC has expanded its facilities substantially. In 1984, the School of Allied Health Professions was established. The 12-million-dollar Louisiana Lions' Eye Center was completed in 1986, which serves as a clinical and research center for the Department of Ophthalmology, and houses outpatient clinics for the School of Medicine. A new eight story Resource Center opened in July of 1988, which includes a modern computer center and a health sciences library. In 2001, an 8-million-dollar Clinical Sciences Research Building (CSRB) was completed, which provides lab and research facilities for the medical staff including state-of-the art simulation labs and conference rooms. In 2003, the School of Public Health was added.

In addition to its outstanding clinical facilities, LSUHSC has emerged as a major center for research, receiving over 37 million dollars in research support funds in 2001. In its long history of education, research, and service to the public, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center is one of the major academic facilities in the South. Despite the impact of Hurricane Katrina on our city, LSUHSC remains an exceptional training facility providing new and exciting opportunities to obtain specialized trauma-related training.
