Program Overview

Welcome to the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Emergency Medicine Residency Program located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Our residency was established in 1992 and is fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education

Our curriculum is based at Earl K. Long Medical Center, a large public university hospital. Our residents will also rotate at facilities such as Baton Rouge General Medical Center – Mid City, Baton Rouge General Medical Center – Bluebonnet, and Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center. Training at all of these medical centers provides our residents with a complete educational experience, permitting them to be exposed to both the public and private practice of emergency medicine and its subspecialties.

Our Program Goals are:

• To train residents to become highly competent emergency medicine physicians who can practice in either a public or private setting.
• To teach residents the fundamentals of research methodology, medical writing and critical appraisal of the literature.
• To provide residents with a comprehensive pre-hospital care experience.
• To enable residents to successfully complete the requirements of the American Board of Emergency Medicine for specialty certification.

All rotations are conducted in the Baton Rouge area. The combination of training at both a public and private medical center provides our residents with a vast and varied patient pathology. After the completion of our residency, our graduates are qualified and prepared to work in any emergency department setting that they choose.
