Request for Visiting House Officers to rotate through an LSU program should be submitted to the GME office no less than three months in advance.

Once the Department Chairman, Program Director, and Visiting House Officer have signed the letter, it is sent, with the copies of the other documents, to the attention of Ashley Walker in the GME Office, 2020 Gravier St., 6th floor, Suite 602 to obtain the signature of the Director of Medical Education.  After all parties have signed, the GME Office will return the original letter to the Program.  A copy of the letter should be given to the Visiting House Officer.  All paperwork will then be submitted to the training facility.
