Overall, students will be exposed to a variety of skin pathology in patients of all ages and races while rotating through our clinics.   Students will also be required to attend resident didactic days on Thursdays.  Visiting students will be responsible to find housing for two weeks in Baton Rouge and two weeks in New Orleans.
