Description: The Louisiana State University School of Medicine in New Orleans is a place where you will find a conclave of distinguished scientists, outstanding healthcare professionals, their skilled staffs and our motivated students, all united in the vigorous pursuit of excellence in education, patient care, research and service to the community. Through systematic self-assessment, LSUHSC has made comprehensive modifications to their curriculum as exemplified by their state-of-the-art Student Learning Center. Here students learn in small groups and from the beginning are taught the connections between the basic sciences and clinical practice. Through advanced simulation technologies, their learners practice difficult procedures before they perform them on patients. With distance learning and telemedicine technologies they network with their students and residents in outlying hospitals as they benefit from the multiplicity of experiences that come with serving a broad geographic area. The school of medicine has maintained a deep commitment to serving all patients, particularly the under-served. It is aligned with the LSUHSC Health Care Services Division which consists of nine hospitals throughout the state. Through this important relationship, it''s faculty and house staff provide quality medical care to the residents of Louisiana regardless of income or insurance coverage. Simultaneously, it''s partnerships with the LSU Healthcare Network and local private hospitals supply outstanding care to a growing population of private patients. Here at the LSU School of Medicine, the researchers continually push at the edges of medical knowledge. We are continuing an active recruitment of both clinical and basic science faculty with a resultant increase in extramural grant funding. Through our many Centers of Excellence we collaborate across specialties by bringing the finest scientific minds to bear on creative and exciting new methods for improving the delivery of patient care and the quality of life for all people.
