Well-Being and News
The well being of our fellows is of paramount importance to our program. We encourage healthy lifestyles, healthy choices, and healthy living. The LSU community and specifically the LSU Health Shreveport office of GME support fellow physician wellness with many support services for fellows. Stress management programs for house staff are available as needed for work-related stress issues that include, but are not limited to, the following: women physicians, residents cited for malpractice, minority physicians, and foreign medical graduates. The Cardiology Department is like a big family and fosters an environment of fun with periodic social occasions and opportunities to get together to give back.
