Resident Research

All Residents in the Obstetrics and Gynecology training program are required to participate in a research project under the supervision of a chosen faculty member. These projects are presented at the PGY- 3 level at the Resident Research Forum held annually in June.  First, second and third place prizes are awarded.  

Over the years, our residents have presented their research papers at national scientific meetings, many of which have won awards and gone on to be published in peer-review journals. 

Other research opportunities are available through individual Faculty for residents who have a special interest or research background.

The Biomedical Research Institute, located on the LSU Health Sciences Center campus in Shreveport, is a business-oriented research facility, combining traditional academic research and private-sector initiatives for the development and commercialization of new discoveries. The research institution is owned by the Biomedical Research Foundation, and fosters increased cooperative research with local and national industries.
