Each July brings a group of newly minted residents. The first few days, weeks and perhaps months of beginning a residency program can be hectic and downright stressful. In this video, LSU’s upper-level residents and faculty lend some tips and advice for getting through the year(s) ahead as an LSU house officer. Special thanks to all who participated in this video, especially Dr. John Helmstetter, Dr. Andrea Heifner, Dr. Erik Helander, Dr. Maerin Laskey, Dr. Diana Thien, Debbie Panepinto (Anesthesiology Coordinator) and Vilma Cervantes (Med-Peds Coordinator).
