Welcome to the LSU Bogalusa Rural Family Medicine Residency!
Ours is one of a handful of rural programs in the country that prepare you for full-scope family medicine in a setting that is mostly rural and community-based throughout your three years of training. We do have a few rotations in New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
We are committed to providing an outstanding in-depth experience of the breadth of Family Medicine with consistent exposure to a variety of patients in a small town/rural environment and a host of procedural skills. Our diverse faculty is committed to maximizing your experience, and our staff has a vision for excellence in team-based care. Moreover, our partnership with a regional leader in healthcare delivery, Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady (FMOLHS), continues to augment our efforts and increase our potential.
Our residents work hard, but they have time for fun. We have a Wellness Committee that is led by two of the residents who help to organize the more formal social activities. We are a small residency, and the faculty and residents have a good relationship of camaraderie. Check out the resident bios and our Instagram page to get a further idea about what a fun group we are to work with. We emphasize a caring family atmosphere that is built on integrity, inclusivity, sound communication and a passion for Family Medicine. Our location affords us easy access to numerous outdoor activities, such as hiking, tubing on the river and farmers' markets. We are also close enough to the Northshore communities and to New Orleans for when you want to check out the more suburban and urban settings and culture.
We welcome your inquiries and applications, as well as requests for acting internship opportunities that will give you a fuller appreciation of our paradigm of training and excellent clinical care that we strive to provide.
Sincerely,
Frederick C. Stone, Jr., MD, MPH
Program Director, LSU Rural Family Medicine
