Louisiana State University School of Medicine Program
About This Program
Our program provides a unique combination of a large patient population and large volume of faculty members while retaining a small residency program. We take care of patients that are referred from the entire state of Louisiana and the Gulf Coast region and provide multiple subspecialities of pediatric neurology. By being a program that offers one resident position per year, we are able to tailor educational opportunities and didactics to an individualized learning style.
