The study of medicine is a powerful integration of science, technologies, experience, and experiment that enables the alleviation of human pain and suffering wherever in the world it occurs. At its finest, it is a quest to improve the human condition. To study medicine at LSU Health Shreveport is to prepare to play a leading role in this quest.

LSU Health Shreveport supports students in their efforts to excel not only in teaching the practice of medicine but also in bringing out the best in those who practice it. We encourage students to pursue their individual interests, find their calling, and discover how they can change the fabric of medicine, science, and society.

Fulfilling our mission to TEACH.  HEAL.  DISCOVER.
