Research Day
Pediatrics Research Day is held annually in May. In 2024, the LSU Pediatrics Department partnered with Manning Family Children's Hospital New Orleans and the Tulane School of Medicine Pediatrics Department to host this event. Over 50 oral and poster presentations showcased the outstanding work of our faculty, trainees, and students.
