LSU Health Shreveport offers a variety of healthcare benefit options; residents may purchase selected healthcare insurance as part of the benefits package at greatly reduced rates. A pension plan is also provided and is fully transferable upon completion of training.
The base salary and benefits are determined by the Louisiana State Legislature on an annual basis and apply to all state-funded programs throughout Louisiana. Residents in our program receive additional incentives through our supporting hospital, Rapides Regional Medical Center, which can be discussed individually with applicants.
