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
