Ochsner Lafayette General launches residency program to address shortage of surgeons

By ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana Business Editor​ ​ ​

Welcome to another edition of the Acadiana Business Newsletter. On to today's headlines....

Overlooking the city from the fourth floor of Ochsner Lafayette General, much of the hospital’s new 17,000 square foot residency center is yet to be finished and furnished. But once completed, as many as 70 physicians could be training there, according to Regional Medical Director Dr. Amanda Logue.

Just beyond the unfinished walls, the first phase of the new residency center has already been completed and will be home to the inaugural class of three surgeons to make Lafayette General their residency home base.

The three surgeons-in-training hailing from Slidell, Baton Rouge and Pensacola will be the first class to make Lafayette General their permanent home for the full five years of their residency.

Read the full story here.

Have a great day and thanks for reading.
