Ochsner Clinic Foundation Program
About This Program
The program operates out of a brand new, purpose-built facility that not only houses the clinic and ancillary services but all of the core faculty and program administration. Our core faculty rotate through both clinic and hospital, providing an ideal example of the versatility of a Family Medicine physician. All graduates of our program will also be board-eligible for Lifestyle Medicine. Each resident and faculty will have their own POCUS device and access to both online and live training.
