I chose to stay at LSUHSC NO because of the supportive, family-like environment and the dedicated people in the department. I’ve built strong connections with our patients and the community, which I’m passionate about serving. As part of the largest children’s hospital in the Gulf South, we see a wide range of complex pediatric endocrinology cases. Our smaller program also allows for close mentorship and personalized training.

I chose LSUHSC for pediatric endocrinology fellowship because of its strong commitment to both clinical excellence and academic development. The program offers a diverse patient population and a wide range of complex endocrine conditions, providing an ideal environment for comprehensive training. I was especially drawn to the supportive faculty and collaborative culture that fosters both personal and professional growth. Additionally, the emphasis on teaching and scholarly pursuits align with my long-term goals in academic medicine.
