Marlene Broussard, MD, MBA, Associate Professor and Interim Chairman of the Department of Pediatrics at LSU Health Shreveport, is one of the country’s first board certified Pediatric Hospital Medicine Specialists.
LSU Health Shreveport is home to the only medical school in north Louisiana and one of only three in the state. Medical students interact with patients from their very first semester and learn from a combination of lectures, small groups, standardized patient exercises and clinical skills throughout their training.
For almost fifty years, LSU Health Shreveport has been educating healthcare professionals who excel at the highest levels in academia, private practice and industry. Students consistently rave over experiencing a rigorous education in a family atmosphere where diversity and success are celebrated. Further strengthening the student experience are vibrant, safe communities in north Louisiana which offer an affordable cost of living.
For those with a heightened interest in research, the school offers joint PhD programs with both the School of Graduate Studies and Louisiana Tech. Students can also opt to enroll in the Research Distinction Track to or apply to become part of the American Medical Student Research Journal, founded in 2013 by our medical students. The School of Medicine counts a Faculty of over 500 with a class size of 150 for fall 2019. Plans are underway to increase class size to 200 over the upcoming years. This expansion is being made possible due to the construction of the Center for Medical Education and Wellness.

FAMILY DAY AT THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Each school year family members and friends of medical school students visit the LSU Health Shreveport campus for the annual Family Day event.
Family Day is an opportunity for friends and family members to get a first-hand look at what students experience during their four years in medical school. They tour campus and learn more about student life, academic programs and medical school curriculum, along with the various clinical skills labs and hands-on learning opportunities available to students.
MEDICAL STUDENT RESEARCH PROGRAM
Each summer medical students work with a faculty mentor on a research project that is then showcased during the fall at our annual presentation fair. In addition to being able to share their work, there is also an opportunity to receive an award in each prize category. This program fosters research activity, inspires students to learn more about the research process and generates quality research evidence.

Four distinguished members of our Department of Surgery were selected for Endowments, Dr. Keith White, Dr. Kathryn Richardson, Dr. Navdeep Samra and Dr. Quyen Chu.
Our January Gold Humanism Honor Society Student of the Month is Alex Britten, MSIII! Alex is well known for her compassion, and she never hesitates to go the extra mile for her patients. During her family medicine rotation, she noticed that her patient was unable to make many of their routine doctors’ appointments due to problems with transportation. Alex contacted a social worker and completed the necessary transportation paperwork, making it easier for the patient to attend their appointments! In addition, during her Neurology rotation, Alex discovered a patient without insurance whose family struggled to pay for their medications. She called the patient over winter break to help get them into contact with the MLK Health Clinic and has checked in with them weekly to monitor their progress of getting assistance with medications.
