Welcome to the LSU web page for the Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs. The Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs interacts with the other Associate and Assistant Deans with the clinical activities of our faculty being the primary concern. Clinical activities of the faculty are centered in the Charity Hospital system with our primary hospital being the Medical Center of Louisiana in New Orleans (MCLNO). MCLNO is divided into two campuses, Reverend Avery Alexander Facility located on Tulane Avenue (Big Charity) and the University Hospital campus located three blocks away. The faculty also have responsibilities at multiple other institutions within the city and in the southern part of the state of Louisiana. A partial list of these hospitals includes Children’s Hospital, New Orleans VA Medical Center (NOVAMC), Earl K. Long Hospital in Baton Rouge, University Medical Center in Lafayette, Kenner Regional Medical Center, Baptist Hospital, the Lindy Boggs Medical Center, and many other facilities. The faculty have a busy outpatient practice as well as intense inpatient activities. The Level 1 Trauma Center at MCLNO is the only Level 1 Trauma Center within 300 miles. The clinical faculty are leased to the LSU Healthcare Network which is responsible for the financial aspects of the clinical practice.

All in all, the activities of the faculty at LSU New Orleans run the gauntlet from the most basic programs in wellness and in family practice through the spectrum to the most highly specialized quaternary intensive care units within our hospitals.
