All of our sports medicine clinics have ultrasound available, and all faculty regularly do ultrasound guided procedures in their practice.

We also have a cadaver lab in which we can practice using ultrasound doing ultrasound-guided procedures. It is a great way to gain confidence on new injection techniques before administering it on a live patient!

Yes.  Fellows rotate one-half day a week with the human performance lab (state-of-the-art gait lab, thermolab, and more!). During this time, fellows develop research skills by working on their project or helping out with other ongoing research projects. All faculty are involved in research and frequently come up with new ideas fellows can jump in on.

Fellows attend both conferences with registration and travel fees all covered. In addition, fellows are expected to submit a case and/or research to each conference. 

LSU Health Shreveport not only provides fellows with the resources, but also pays for the exam!

Fellows have multiple opportunities throughout the year to lead MSK physical exam teaching to medical students and residents. They also give lectures routinely to the Family Medicine Residents. 

Fellows get a monthly allotment for food to be used in the cafeteria.
Each fellow receives a medical bag and other swag.
