Kelsey E. Phelps, MD currently serves as Assistant Professor of Clinical Family Medicine at LSU Rural Family Medicine Residency, which is affiliated with Our Lady of the Angels Hospital in Bogalusa, Louisiana. She enjoys teaching the residents at the program from which she graduated, as well as being part of an institution that values academic rigor while striving to care for the under-served.

Dr. Phelps is originally from a small town in rural Northern California, where her grandfather and father both practiced family medicine since the 1950s. She found her way to Southern Louisiana after accepting a place at Tulane School of Medicine, and stayed on after residency to continue caring for the patient population that she loves.

When not working at the residency program, Dr. Phelps practices in emergency rooms around Southern Louisiana. She enjoys reading, gardening, beekeeping, and spending time with her family.
