The Department of Internal Medicine at LSU Health Shreveport School of Medicine is comprised of 15 Divisions and more than 170 faculty physicians with a wide range of sub-specialties who possess unique clinical, technical and research expertise that are dedicated to the compassionate delivery of health care. Our goal is to be the preferred academic provider for medical care in Louisiana and the region.

   


Our three-pronged mission of EDUCATION, PATIENT CARE & RESEARCH allows us to train and attract doctors of the highest standards to provide high quality, compassionate and innovative care to the patients in our clinics and hospitals.


 

Collaborations with the entire health care provider team facilitates our delivery of compassionate care from preventive and outpatient episodic medical care through acute care to palliative therapy based upon the individual patient’s unique needs. Multidisciplinary teams from our Medicine divisions, representing diverse skills and backgrounds, will interact across our practice to provide comprehensive, high value, evidence-based, patient-centered treatments that will impact urban and rural communities in the region and nation.

Building upon the Vision of the LSU Health Shreveport School of Medicine, the Department of Internal Medicine and its individual Divisions also focus on the Mission of LSU Health Shreveport by enhancing how we improve and sustain health in the lives of those we impact by:
