Residency and Fellowship Programs

Lafayette Internal Medicine Residency Program

2022-2023 Internal Medicine Curriculum

 

"Ochsner University Hospital and Clinics is the primary site of training during the first year of training.  It houses a robust continuity clinic where you will follow patients over the course of your training. We also have a busy inpatient service at this hospital.  It provides care to a diverse population including the indigent. 

Ochsner Lafayette General, our second campus, offers training in a state of the art intensive care unit, houses the busiest emergency room in Acadiana, and an advanced certified primary stroke center. Rotations in hospital medicine, neurology, physical medicine and rehabilitation medicine are just a few of the other elective rotations offered here."

Karen G Curry, MD
Section Chief, Department of Internal Medicine

 

All residents are on a “3+1” block schedule with 1 week ambulatory rotations separated by 3 week inpatient or elective rotations.
