Residents are given ample responsibility and autonomy consistent with all first-year residents at LSU Health Shreveport. The combination of a high-volume, hands-on experience and appropriate supervision allows our first-year residents to mature and develop into physicians who are capable and ready to accept the challenges and responsibilities of upper level house officers. During their second and third years, our residents are placed in supervisory roles on the Family Medicine in-patient service. In this setting they help train first year Family Medicine interns, as well interns from other services, and medical students. Our upper-level residents also assist in teaching off-service interns and medical students in its busy ambulatory care clinic.

“If I were to describe LSU Shreveport family medicine residency, I would use the word "opportunity". It is one of only a handful of residences that provides opportunity in inpatient management, procedures, emergency and critical care, OB, colonoscopy, and more. With a staff that truly cares about their residents, it is a program that has something to offer for any kind of aspiring family physician."
Andrew Wynn, Class of 2024
“I love the wide variety in Family Medicine, and I think one of the best ways to increase the health of the individuals and our community as a whole is with preventative medicine. I enjoy continuity of care and the relationships that are built with patients. The program at LSU Health Shreveport has amazing learning opportunities and a great support system." Sara Oglesbee, Class of 2025
Shreveport is the third largest city in Louisiana and is a wonderful place to live with beautiful parks and lakes, a low cost of living, almost non-existent traffic issues, a vibrant arts scene and home to dozens of locally owned restaurants in addition to national chains. Located at the crossroads of Texas and Arkansas, living in Shreveport provides easy access to cities such as Dallas/Ft. Worth, Hot Springs and numerous Louisiana cities.
Shreveport, and our sister city Bossier, have so much to offer that you have to experience it.
