Special Features & Unique Opportunities
The program is a new, community-based program in its second year, and the residents here really do have a say and help shape the program. The program is in a smaller community and located between and close to New Orleans and Baton Rouge. While the community is smaller, the hospital has a large catchment area which brings in a vast array of medical conditions and forms the complex patient population seen by the training program, which helps to create the great learning environment.
