LSU Health Shreveport Sports Medicine

Today is Thank a Resident Day 💙

Shoutout to our Sports Medicine fellows — our sideline superheroes and clinic MVPs 🏈

From Friday night lights to early morning procedures, you show up for our athletes and our community every single time. Game coverage, clinic, outreach, call — you handle it all with skill and grit.

We’re so proud of the physicians you’re becoming. If you see a Sports Med fellow today, tell them thank you (they’re probably headed to a game 😉).

🏈✨ From Louisiana to Las Vegas!
Our LSU Health Shreveport Sports Medicine Fellows — Dr. Andrew Wilkinson and Dr. Salah Awadalla — along with Dr. Lopez, are representing our team while providing sideline coverage for Grambling State University Football as they take the field in Las Vegas!

We are proud of our fellows for continuing to showcase their dedication and Tiger pride on and off the field! 💜💛

Please join us in congratulating our amazing Program Administrator, Brooke McGaugh! 👏 She has been named one of Shreveport-Bossier’s 40 Under 40! 🥳 We are so proud to have her on our team—her hard work and heart for others make a difference every day. 💜💛
