Residency
Orthopaedic Surgery
The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery offers a five year Residency Training Program. Three PGY-1 positions are filled each year through the National Resident Matching Program. The residents rotate throughout Shreveport hospitals: Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport, Shriners Hospital for Children, Overton Brooks Veteran Administration Medical Center, Willis Knighton and Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport - St. Mary Medical Center.
The Department strives to achieve a proper balance between the clinical, educational, and investigative spheres. Of these, the primary goal is excellence in clinical activities. The process of education encompasses more than the acquisition of knowledge and techniques; it includes the assimilation of experiences that,, when absorbed and integrated, permit an appropriate response in any situation. Since learning is an active process, maintenance of a suitable balance in the educational environment requires continual adjustments in emphasis.
1) Provide for high quality care;
2) Provide progressive resident development in clinical, operative and research skills; and
3) Maintain an environment which challenges the student, resident, and faculty alike, and which provides maximum opportunity for his/her development.
