LSUHSC Community Engagement

As an institution of higher learning, LSUHSC embraces a culture where everyone works for the betterment of the individual and community. Leadership, faculty, staff, and learner educational experience enables us to better address healthcare inequities and cultural competency in clinical care. The welcoming community and patient population that LSUHSC fosters trainees' understanding and effective delivery of care to individuals of unique backgrounds, which is integral to the institution's academic mission. As a community, LSUHSC embraces the full range of human difference.

To demonstrate LSU's commitment to community and institutional values, an Assistant Vice Chancellor for Office of Community Engagement is charged with creating programs for successful recruitment and retention of faculty, staff, and students from all communities to foster excellence in research, education, patient care and community service.

Specifically, the School of Medicine's Office of Community Engagement has a series to develop awareness, literacy and acknowledgement of the structural frameworks which intersect in the space health care inequities, and disparities.

LSUHSC New Orleans welcomes, needs, and celebrates its strong voices. Our training program is our present and future and serves a beautiful community. We are committed to a welcoming, vibrant training experience, and to learning how to care more completely for each other and our patients.
