LSU School of Medicine Internal Medicine Residency Program Lafayette, La

We are an ACGME accredited Internal Medicine Residency program. Our Program
Our system is one of graded responsibility and independence.

We are mindful of our resident's work and personal life demands. The structure of our program is unique. We utilize a 3+1 block schedule whereby residents rotate on a specific service for three weeks followed by a week of primary care continuity clinic. This allows residents to concentrate on each rotation without being pulled away for outpatient clinics. We have students from LSU in New Orleans a

s well as other medical schools who are integrated into our inpatient and outpatient clinic services which permits opportunities for residents to teach. We also have opportunities for research and scholarly activity with many residents creating case reports, posters at regional and national conferences, as well as QI/PI projects. Our Sites
We have 32 Internal Medicine residents who train at two complimentary sites. Ochsner University Hospital and Clinics (OUHC) is our anchor site where the majority of training is performed. It is a safety net hospital and as such draws patients from a multitude of walks of life. 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. Morning report and didactic conferences are held every weekday on this campus. Ochsner Lafayette General Medical Center (OLGMC), our second campus, offers training in a state of the art intensive care unit. It houses the busiest and only Level 2 Trauma emergency room in Acadiana, and an advanced certified primary stroke center. Rotations in hospital medicine, pulmonology, neurology, cardiology and hospice and palliative care are just a few of the other elective rotations offered here. While OUHC primarily treats the underserved patient population, LGMC provides this care in a private hospital environment which compliments and rounds out a resident’s education. Our City
Our program is optimally located in the heart of Acadiana in the “Hub City” of Lafayette. This region of Louisiana is known for its melting pot of Cajun and Creole culture with fantastic food, festivals, and celebration of the Joie de vivre. Lafayette as well is a “college town” with the University of Louisiana drawing a multitude of individuals from around the world to study and research. Against this backdrop, flows a diverse patient population with varied pathology from common to rare. To learn more about our city and culture, please select the video link above. In closing, we appreciate your interest in the LSU Lafayette Internal Medicine Residency Program. We hope you have found the information on our website helpful and wish you well on your journey to secure a residency position.

Huge congratulations to Dr. Vy Luong, DO from the Department of Internal Medicine for earning the Award for Scholarly Excellence in Medicine Presentation at the 2026 LSUHSC‑Lafayette Research Symposium.

Her poster, “When Common Symptoms Hide Rare Diseases: A Case of Prolonged Arthralgia and Chronic Diarrhea Unveiled as Whipple’s Disease,” highlights the power of curiosity, persistence, and exceptional clinical insight.

We’re also excited to share photos from this special day — our first Research Symposium since COVID — making this moment even more meaningful.

Proud is an understatement!

He joined Table Rounds with two of our Wards Teams, sat in on Dr. Walker’s Noon Conference, and even entertained three of our residents.

Don’t worry—everyone wore gloves to keep Buddy’s magic intact! 🧤 Tonight, he’ll fly back to Santa to report on the excellent care we’re providing to all our patients. 💫
