The Family Practice Residency Program at E. A. Conway Medical Center, an affiliate of LSU Medical Center in Shreveport, is the only residency program fully based at Conway. The program has been developed to train resident physicians to deliver competent and comprehensive family medical care. Residents work primarily with indigent patients and their families, in the inpatient setting as well as the outpatient hospital clinics.
Residents also follow a small panel of patients in a local nursing home.
This allows ample opportunity to become proficient at a wide variety of procedures. The faculty are committed to the concepts and teaching of Family Medicine, and all non-Family Practice faculty hold dual appointments in the Department of Family Medicine and Comprehensive Care at LSU Medical Center in Shreveport. A brief description of the program's educational goals and philosophies, and a general narrative about how the residency is put together. All about the residents' home base during training. E. A.
