Resident Section
LSMS Leadership

The purpose of the LSMS Resident Section is to provide intern, resident, and fellow physicians greater participation in the affairs of the Louisiana State Medical Society and a more direct role in policy deliberations. To this end are three goals of the Resident Section:

1. to educate residents about issues concerning graduate medical education and national health policies;

2. to develop a truly representative organization in order to effect change; and

3. to train young physician leaders.
