HISTORY
The School of Medicine in Shreveport was authorized
by an act of the Louisiana Legislature in 1965 as a part of
the former LSU Medical Center. In 1966 the Legislature
authorized The LSU System to issue $10 million in bonds to
initiate establishment and construction of the School. The
first class of 32 students was enrolled in September, 1969,
and the first doctor of medicine degrees were awarded in
May, 1973. Beginning in 1975, first year enrollment was
increased to approximately 100 students.
The permanent buildings of the School were completed
in 1975 and are immediately adjacent and connected to the
Louisiana State University Hospital-Shreveport, licensed
for 436 beds. School facilities include a Comprehensive
Care teaching facility, designed to provide an environment
where students may learn by active participation in the
care of ambulatory patients and basic and clinical science
buildings, which also house the Medical Library. The University Hospital is the School’s principal teaching hospital, but teaching and
research are also conducted at the affiliated 450 bed Veterans Administration Medical Center and other regional affiliated hospitals.
In 1995, researchers from the LSU School of Medicine in Shreveport occupied research laboratories of the new Biomedical Research
Institute, constructed adjacent to the School of Medicine in Shreveport and leased by the health sciences center from the Biomedical
Research Foundation of Northwest Louisiana.

ADMISSION
Committee on Admissions
Responsibility for selection of entering students is delegated
by the faculty to the Committee on Admissions. The Committee will
select from among the applicants those considered to possess in
highest degree those intellectual and personal attributes necessary
for success in the study and practice of medicine.
The School of Medicine participates in the program designated
as the American Medical College Application Service, referred to as
AMCAS. All applications for admission to the first-year class must
be submitted through this service. The application process for this
School of Medicine is divided into two stages. The first stage is of
preliminary nature and handled by AMCAS. The second stage is an
exclusive relationship between the School and those applicants who
have completed Stage-1.
Stage-1
The initial application through AMCAS is available exclusively
through the web site of the American Association of Medical Colleges’
web page: www.aamc.org. Students are encouraged to begin their
applications early. All questions about the initial application must
be addressed to the AAMC because LSUHSC has no additional
information about this process.
Stage-2
All Louisiana applicants are sent a Stage-2 application when the
medical school receives a verified Stage-1 application from AMCAS.
The Stage-2 is brief and asks for certain supplemental information.
REQUIREMENTS
Attendance for at least three full academic years at a regionally
accredited college, and completion of not less than 90 semester hours
prior to the date of registration at the School of Medicine. Applications
may be made prior to the completion of the minimum requirements.
Other qualifications being equal, preference will be given to applicants
who will have received the bachelor’s degree prior to registration. B.S.
and B.A. degrees are equally acceptable.
Satisfactory completion of the following college courses:
Chemistry (with laboratory)
Credits
Inorganic------------------------- 8
Organic--------------------------- 8
Biology (with laboratory) ------------------- 8
Physics (with laboratory) ------------------- 8
English ---------------------------------- 1
Attainment of acceptable grades in all college courses taken prior to
registration.
Attainment of an acceptable score on the Medical College Admission
Test.
Only applicants who can meet the school’s Technical Standards (see
below) will be considered.
Selection of College Courses
Aside from required courses it is recommended that prospective
applicants pursue their own particular interests and develop their own
special talents. A broad educational background is desirable. The

LSU Health Sciences Center at Shreveport School of Medicine 83
counsel of faculty advisors should be sought. Applicants may also,
upon request, obtain advice from the Office of Student Admissions or
from faculty members.
Transcripts: Official transcripts from his/her current medical school
and from all other academic institutions he/she has attended since
graduating from high school must be sent directly to this office.
Medical College Admission Test
Candidates for admission who have not taken the MCAT prior
to submitting applications should take this test in the fall. The MCAT
is given at colleges throughout the nation in April and August, under
the sponsorship of the Association of American Medical Colleges.
Students may obtain information about this test and the dates on
which it is given from the AAMC web site, www.AAMC.org and their
premedical advisors.
Personal Interviews
Some, but not all applicants are invited for interviews at the
medical school. These normally begin in late October and continue
through March. Each applicant has two one-on-one interviews with an
individual who has the applicant’s personal statement and biographical
data, but not grades, MCAT scores, or letters of recommendation.
Each also has an open-book interview with the Assistant Dean or
Admissions Committee Chairman, who reviews the entire application,
concentrating on matters not covered in the closed-book interviews.
Applicants are encouraged to ask questions at every step.
Factors weighed in evaluation of
applicants
High grades and/or MCAT scores alone are not enough. Other
factors that are weighed in selecting applicants for admission include
letters of reference, the personal statement, difficulty of courses and
course loads, trends in grades, extracurricular activities, leadership,
volunteer work, care-giving and health-related experience, research,
hardship, evidence of motivation for a career in medicine and other
non-cognitive attributes. Impressions from the personal interview are
especially important.
EARLY DECISION PROGRAM (EDP)
Applicants who apply for admission to LSUMC-S through the
EDP are bound by rules established by AMCAS. The earliest date to
apply is June 1, and only files containing a completed Stage-2 and
the required letters of reference by August 1st will be considered
further under the EDP. Selected applicants will be interviewed, and all
applicants will be notified by October 1st. Successful EDP-applicants
must accept the school’s offer and cannot apply to any other schools.
EDP-applicants that are not accepted will be considered without
prejudice as regular applicants, and they are free to apply to other
schools. Normally, only applicants with above-average grades and
MCAT scores will be admitted through this program.
TRANSFER WITH ADVANCED STANDING
The School of Medicine has a program whereby medical students
enrolled at LCME-accredited schools of medicine can be accepted
for transfer with advanced standing. Students will be considered for
transfer positions pending fulfillment of the following:
Letter of Intent: A typed letter of intent, detailing the reasons why
he/she wishes to be considered for transfer with advanced standing
begins the process.
Application Form: A Stage-2 form must be completed and returned with
the letter of intent. The requested fifty-dollar check must accompany
the letter of intent in order to open a file with this office.
Dean’s Letter: A letter of good standing from the Dean of his/her
medical school.
References: Letters of reference from two medical school
professors.
MCAT Scores: Scores from Medical College Admissions Test must
be furnished.
USMLE Scores: Scores: Scores from Step-1 of the USMLE must be
sent. If they are not available, then he/she must state this in his/her
letter of intent.
Other: In some cases, other supporting documents may be required.
If so, these will be requested as the need is identified.
Deadline: All applications and support materials must be received by
April 1.
Some, but not all, applicants will be invited to interview at the
medical school in Shreveport. This personal interview is required
before permission to transfer will be approved.
Preference will be given to Louisiana residing residents, and only
students who are in good standing at their present medical school will
be considered. The number of students approved will vary from year
to year, each case being evaluated individually.
Transfers are allowed only at the end of the second year of
medical school.
The Assistant Dean for Student Admissions and an ad hoc
committee will evaluate applications for transfer, and the student will
be notified of the decision as soon as it is made.
Provisions Governing Acceptance
of Applicant
All offers to accept an applicant for admission to the School of
Medicine are regarded as provisional acceptances. These are based
on evidence to be submitted at the appropriate time after all required
course work has been completed prior to the time for registration.
The applicant must also demonstrate a continuation of a satisfactory
personal performance and a level of academic achievement which is
consistent with ability previously demonstrated.
Prior to registration students must submit to the Office of
Admissions official transcripts from each college or university attended,
regardless of whether credit was earned or is desired. Failure to
submit transcripts in a timely manner will prevent registration and
forfeit the student’s position in the entering class.
As part of the school’s commitment to providing a safe and healthy
environment, along with all new faculty and employees, incoming
students are required to pass a drug screen and criminal background
check prior to matriculation. Offers of acceptance are contingent on
passing both. Further details can be obtained from the Department of
Human Resources at LSUHSC-S.
Note: At the scheduled time of registration, any student who
does not qualify for Louisiana residency for LSU tuition purposes
and/or has not furnished the Registrar with official transcripts from all
institutions attended (whether or not any credit was earned), and has
not passed a drug screen and criminal background check, is subject
to being refused registration and forfeiting his/her place to another
applicant at that time. The Registrar in consultation with the Associate
Dean for Academic Affairs or his designee will make the decision, for
which there is no appeal.
Applicants must notify the Office of Admissions of their desire to
accept a place in the class within the time specified in the letter offering
acceptance. Failure to notify the office promptly will be considered as
sufficient reason to withdraw the offer.
Accepted applicants are required to make a deposit of $250 by
May 1 to hold their place and by May 15 to relinquish positions they
may hold in other medical schools. The deposit is non-refundable
and is credited toward the student’s fees due at registration.
It is considered to be improper for an applicant to hold more than

84 LSU Health Sciences Center at Shreveport School of Medicine
one place of acceptance at any one time. An applicant who accepts
a place in the class is considered to be under obligation to cancel the
acceptance of places that may have been established previously with
other schools. It is also to be understood that if an applicant who has
accepted a place with the School of Medicine subsequently decides
to attend another school, the applicant will provide prompt notification
of the change in the acceptance status. These and other rights and
responsibilities are found in the AAMC publication: Medical School
Admission Requirements and on their web site.
TECHNICAL STANDARDS FOR MEDICAL
SCHOOL ADMISSION, ACADEMIC
PROGRESSION AND GRADUATION
Medical Education requires that the accumulation of scientific
knowledge be accompanied by the simultaneous acquisition of skills
and professional attitudes and behavior. Medical school faculties
have a responsibility to society to matriculate and graduate the best
possible physicians, and thus admission to medical school has been
offered to those who present highest qualifications for the study and
practice of medicine. Technical standards presented in this document
are pre-requisite for admission, progression and graduation from
Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine
in Shreveport. All courses in the curriculum are required in order to
develop essential skills required to become a competent physician.
Graduates of medical school must have the knowledge and skills
to function in a broad variety of clinical situations and to render a
wide spectrum of patient care. LSU Health Sciences Center School
of Medicine in Shreveport acknowledges Section 504 of the 1973
Vocational Rehabilitation Act and PL 101-336, the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), but has determined that certain minimum
technical standards must be met by prospective candidates and
students.
A candidate for the M.D. degree must have aptitude, abilities, and
skills in five areas; observation; communication; motor, conceptual,
integrative and quantitative; and behavioral and social. Technological
compensation can be made for some handicaps in these areas, but
a candidate must be able to perform in a reasonably independent
manner. The use of a trained intermediary would mean that a
candidate’s judgment must be mediated by someone else’s power
of selection and observation. Therefore, third parties cannot be used
to assist students in accomplishing curricular requirements in the
five skill areas specified above. Reasonable accommodation can be
made for some disabilities.
Observation
The candidate must be able to observe demonstrations and
participate in experiments in the basic sciences, including, but not
limited to, physiologic and pharmacologic demonstrations in animals,
microbiology cultures, and microscopic studies of microorganisms
and tissues in normal and pathologic states. A candidate must be
able to observe a patient accurately at a distance and close at hand.
Observation necessitates the functional use of the sense of vision and
other sensory modalities. It is enhanced by the functional use of the
sense of smell.
Communication
A candidate should be able to speak, to hear, and to observe
patients in order to elicit information, describe changes in mood,
activity and posture, and perceive nonverbal communications. A
candidate must be able to communicate effectively and sensitively
with patients. Communication includes not only speech, but reading
and writing. The candidate must be able to communicate effectively
and efficiently in oral and written forms with all members of the health
care team. A candidate must possess reading skills at a level to be
able to independently accomplish curricular requirements and provide
clinical care for patients.
Motor Coordination or Function
Candidates should have sufficient motor function to elicit
information from patients by palpation, auscultation, percussion,
and other diagnostic maneuvers. A candidate should be able to do
basic laboratory tests (urinalysis, CBC, etc.), carry out diagnostic
procedures (proctoscopy, paracentesis, etc.) and read EKGs and
X-rays. A candidate should be able to execute motor movements
reasonably required to provide general care and emergency treatment
to patients.
Examples of emergency treatment reasonably required of
physicians are cardiopulmonary resuscitation, the administration of
intravenous medication, application of pressure to stop bleeding, the
opening of obstructed airways, the suturing of simple wounds, and
the performance of basic obstetrical maneuvers. Such actions require
coordination of both gross and fine muscular movements, equilibrium
and functional use of the senses of touch and vision.
Intellectual Conceptual, Integrative and
Quantitative Abilities
These abilities include measurement, calculation, reasoning,
analysis, and synthesis. Problem solving, the critical skill demanded
of physicians, requires all of these intellectual abilities. In addition,
the candidate should be able to comprehend three-dimensional
relationships and to understand the spatial relationships of
structures.
Behavioral and Social Attributes
Candidates must possess the emotional health required for full
use of their intellectual abilities, the exercise of good judgment, the
prompt completion of all responsibilities attendant to the diagnosis
and care of patients, and the development of mature, sensitive and
effective relationships with patients. Candidates must be able to
tolerate physically taxing workloads and to function effectively when
stressed. They must be able to adapt to changing environments, to
display flexibility and to learn to function in the face of uncertainties
inherent in the clinical problems of many patients. Empathy, integrity,
concern for others, interpersonal skills, interest and motivation are all
personal qualities that should be assessed during the admission and
educational processes.
Candidates for the M.D. degree must have somatic sensation and
the functional use of the senses of vision and hearing. Candidates’
diagnostic skills will also be lessened without the functional use of the
senses of equilibrium, smell and taste. Additionally, they must have
sufficient exteroceptive sense (touch, pain and temperature), sufficient
proprioceptive sense (position, pressure, movement, stereognosis
and vibratory) and sufficient motor function to permit them to carry
out the activities described in the section above. They must be able to
consistently, quickly, and accurately integrate all information received
by whatever sense(s) employed, and they must have the intellectual
ability to learn, integrate, analyze and synthesize data.
Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center School of
Medicine in Shreveport will consider for admission to medical school
any applicant who demonstrates the ability to perform or to learn to
perform the skills listed in this document. Students will be judged not
only on their scholastic accomplishments, but also on their physical
and emotional capacities to meet the full requirements of the school’s
curriculum, and to graduate as skilled and effective practitioners of
medicine. The following technical requirements apply:
1. Is the candidate able to observe demonstrations and participate
in experiments in the basic sciences?
2. Is the candidate able to analyze, synthesize, extrapolate, solve
problems, and reach diagnostic and therapeutic judgments, and
to accomplish this in a timely manner?
3. Does the candidate have sufficient use of the senses of vision
and hearing and the somatic sensation necessary to perform
a physical examination? Can the candidate perform palpation,
auscultation, and percussion?

LSU Health Sciences Center at Shreveport School of Medicine 85
4. Can the candidate reasonably be expected to relate to
patients and establish sensitive, professional relationships with
patients?
5. Can the candidate reasonably be expected to communicate the
results of the examination to the patient and to his colleagues
with accuracy, clarity and efficiency?
6. Can the candidate reasonably be expected to learn and perform
routine laboratory tests and diagnostic procedures?
7. Can the candidate reasonably be expected to perform with
precise, quick and appropriate actions in emergency situations?
8. Can the candidate reasonably be expected to display good
judgment in the assessment and treatment of patients, and to
accomplish this in a timely manner?
9. Can the candidate reasonably be expected to possess the
perseverance, diligence, and consistency to complete the
medical school curriculum and enter the independent practice of
medicine?
10. Can the candidate reasonably be expected to accept criticism
and respond by appropriate modification of behavior?
Adopted by unanimous vote of the General Faculty, May 1996.
GENERAL INFORMATION
REGISTRATION
All students are expected to comply with the general Health
Sciences Center provisions governing registration as specified in the
general information section of this publication.
COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS
Before registering, each student must have provided an official
transcript of all college work to the Office of Admissions. Failure to
submit transcripts will prevent registration and will result in the forfeiture
of the student’s position in the entering class. Transcripts furnished to
the American Medical College Application Service (AMCAS) are not
provided to LSUHSC-Shreveport. Students, therefore, must request
that transcripts from all colleges attended be sent directly to the
LSUHSC-Shreveport, Office of Admissions.
STUDENT HEALTH
The LSUHSC School of Medicine in Shreveport Medical School
Handbook (available at http://www.sh.lsumc.edu/student-affairs)
contains additional information.
Before registering for classes, students must provide the results of
a medical examination and proof of certain tests and immunizations.
Forms for recording this information are provided to each new
student. Completed forms should be sent to the address indicated on
the form.
LAPTOP COMPUTER
At registration, all new students (freshmen, advanced placement,
and transfer students) must purchase a university designated laptop
computer from the University at registration. See the Expenses
section of this catalog/bulletin.
ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes except
in case of illness or other causes of absence beyond the student’s
control. Excessive absence, regardless of cause, may, at the
discretion of departments, necessitate repetition of courses or
parts thereof, or fulfillment of other assignments. A student who is
repeatedly absent from scheduled examinations, requiring repeated
makeup examination, may be required to appear before the respective
Promotions Committee. The Promotions Committee will recommend
action to the Dean, which in some instances may be dismissal.
A student who has essentially abandoned his/her role as a student
through non-attendance will be subject to dismissal, after a hearing
on the matter by the respective Promotions Committee, which will
recommend action to the Dean.
EXAMINATIONS
Examinations may be written, oral, practical, or a combination of
all three, depending upon the department concerned. A student may
be excluded from any examination for excessive absence, regardless
of the cause, at the discretion of the department head. Any department
has the option to re-examine any student at any time during a course
under its jurisdiction, or to give additional tests for the purpose of
arriving at a more accurate evaluation of achievement.
The student body has established an Honor Code concerning
examinations. This Code is applicable to all students enrolled in
the School.
Grading System
Student performance is evaluated by the course director and
teaching faculty of each course on the basis of written, oral, and
practical examinations. In graded courses, the grades are recorded
as A (Excellent), B (Good), C (Satisfactory), or F (Fail). In other
courses, the grades are P (Pass) and F (Fail).
The grade of I (Incomplete) is recorded for a student whose
academic work is incomplete at the time grades are recorded. Failure
to complete academic work by the specified time will result in the
grade of F.
The grade of W (Withdraw) is recorded for a student who officially
withdraws from a course in progress.
Grade Point Average
At the end of each academic year, a grade point average is
computed to the nearest hundredth of a point on the basis of 4 points
for A, 3 for B, 2 for C, and 0 for F. Grades of P, I, and W are not
included in the computation of the grade point average. A student
cannot be promoted until all comprehensive examinations have been
passed and all grades of W and I have been removed.
Appeal of Final Grades
Faculty are best qualified to judge the performance and
capabilities of students in the courses here at LSU School of
Medicine in Shreveport. The departments, or teaching units if the
course is interdepartmental, under the administrative guidance of
the departmental chair(s), or teaching unit head, and under the
specific supervision of the designated course director, have the
responsibility for their respective educational programs. (Hereafter
in this section, teaching unit head and departmental chair may be
used interchangeably). They are responsible for the evaluation of
students within their respective courses, according to the published
guidelines for their respective courses. Each department or teaching
unit establishes its mechanisms for the ongoing evaluation of
students within its course within the framework of evaluation policies
for the School of Medicine.
A student who is of the conviction that his or her final course
grade or evaluation is unjust or inaccurate may appeal that decision
formally. There are two levels of appeal, one to the teaching unit
head, and the second to the school’s administration. The initial
appeal must be submitted, in writing, within ten working days of
receiving the grade or evaluation, to the teaching unit head for the
course. The appeal written by the student must clearly state the
specific basis for the student’s dissatisfaction (why the grade is
unjust or unfair because it is capricious or different from the process
used to figure other students’ grades), and the specific relief sought.
Failure of the student to appeal within the ten working days indicates
acceptance of the grade or evaluation.

86 LSU Health Sciences Center at Shreveport School of Medicine
At the first level, after receiving a written appeal stating the basis
for the dissatisfaction and the relief sought, the head of the teaching
unit shall, within a period of ten working days, review the appeal,
meet with the student and, if he/she deems appropriate with faculty,
and formulate a written response which shall be given to the student.
If the student remains dissatisfied with the grade or evaluation
after receiving the response to his/her appeal from the teaching
unit head, the student has five working days from the receipt of the
response to make a final appeal, in writing, to the Assistant Dean for
Student Affairs, who will compile the data and present it to the Dean.
The written appeal must include the basis for the dissatisfaction
(clear deviation from the grading procedure used for other students
or the distinct unfair nature of the grade received) and the relief
sought. The Dean will then render a decision. Addressed will be
(1) whether or not the evaluation or grading procedure used in that
case was essentially the same as used for all other students in that
course and (2) whether or not there is evidence of capricious, unjust
or erroneous evaluation sufficient to warrant referral of the case
back to the department for reassessing the students’ competence.
Using these criteria, the Dean will either accept the original grade
or evaluation as valid or refer the case back to the department or
teaching unit for reevaluation and/or grading of the student. If the
decision reached requires changes in an official university record,
the faculty of the department or teaching unit must comply with all
university regulations and procedures necessary to accomplish
the change. The decision of the appeal reached by the Dean,
represents the final level of due process for appeal of a final course
grade in the School of Medicine.
Promotions
Student’s qualitative and quantitative academic progress will be
assessed for academic advancement or retention at least at the end
of Module I and at the end of each year. Technical standards may be
assessed at any time.
A passing grade or the successful remediation of a failing grade
must be earned in all courses for a student to be promoted and to
graduate. The earned grade of F is not removed from the transcript
or GPA calculation, although successful remediation is noted. Course
directors and teaching faculty determine the remediation plan and
assessment instrument.
Repeating First Year and Second Year
Students may repeat only one of the first two years of medical
school. If the student earns criteria which would necessitate
repeating a second time, the student will be dismissed. A student who
is permitted to repeat the first or second year must submit a specific
and acceptable proposal for study to the Medical Curriculum Council
(MCC) and successfully complete it in order to be eligible to retake
the first or second year. The proposal and any additional stipulations
made by the MCC must be fulfilled by the student. After repeating a
year, the student must achieve automatic promotion (defined as 2.00
and no F’s) in future years, or be dismissed.
Remediation
Remediation for Module I courses must be completed before
advancement to Module II. Remediation for Module IIA (first year)
courses must be completed before registration for the sophomore
year. Remediation for Module IIB (second year) courses must be
completed prior to registration for the third year. The remediation
time frame for third and fourth-year clerkships will be recommended
to the promotion committee by the clerkship director. Students may
remediate the grade of F in one course; at any time students earn two
F’s (including a successfully remediated F), they shall be dismissed.
Academic Actions for Failing Grades
An F may be earned by a student based on academic, professional,
and technical standards or as a result of failure to complete required
course work in a timely manner. Except as modified by prior repeating
or for students who are required to meet criteria for automatic
promotion, the following summarizes academic action taken when
the grade of F is earned.
As judged at the end of the first half of the first year, students may
remediate one F; Students who fail to successfully remediate an F shall
be dismissed. Students earning two F’s shall be dismissed. If at any
time, when judged at the end of each half of the first two years or
at any time in the third or fourth year, students who earn a second F
(including a previously successfully remediated F) shall be dismissed.
STATEMENT OF SATISFACTORY
ACADEMIC PROGRESS
A student allowed to continue enrollment in the School of Medicine
is considered making satisfactory progress. Student promotions
committees meet at least at the end of each academic year (and
usually more often as needed) and review qualitative and quantitative
academic progress of each student. A student not satisfactorily
completing all course requirements may be permitted to remediate
and may be required to repeat an entire academic year of study. Each
student must complete the four-year curriculum in no more than six
calendar years after initial enrollment. The time granted a student for
a leave of absence will not be included in the maximum time period
for completion of the program. Additionally, a student allowed to start
the senior year with incomplete junior-year rotations will be treated as
a senior when determining the student’s Cost-of-Attendance for next
years award.
Dismissals
Students may be dismissed for failure to meet academic,
technical, discipline, and behavioral standards.
Behavior Dismissals
As future physicians, medical students should be aware that they
are held to a high standard of behavior and professionalism. In the
context of medical training, LSUHSC in Shreveport has an obligation
not only to itself to maintain the integrity of its degree but also to
protect the public interest. Technical Standards for behavioral and
social attributes evolve as students move toward patient care. In the
earliest stage of medical school, they may also include demonstrating
a commitment to learning which includes attending assigned classes,
meetings and examinations, and treating classmates, teachers,
faculty members, and patients with respect. Failure to meet these
standards will also be considered by student promotions committees
in their reviews of students.
Academic and Technical Standards
Dismissals
Promotions committees recommend to the Dean the dismissal
of students who fail to meet the academic standards for promotion
described in the Student Promotions Policies of the Faculty or the
Technical Standards for Admission, Academic Progression and
Graduation described in this catalog/bulletin.
Disciplinary Dismissals
In the event of Honor Code violations requiring the action of a
Hearing Panel, their recommendations are forwarded to the Dean. The
LSU School of Medicine Shreveport Student Honor Code, approved
by the General Faculty on May 15, 1990 and revised on May 20, 1997
is published annually in the LSUHSC Shreveport School of Medicine
Handbook (available at http://www.sh.lsumc.edu/student-affairs.)
Student behavior must conform to the Honor Code expectation.
Appeal of Dismissal
Appeals of dismissals concerned with academic or technical
standards are discussed here. Appeals of disciplinary dismissals
are covered under Student Honor Code in the LSUHSC School of
Medicine in Shreveport Handbook (available at http://www.sh.lsumc.
edu/student-affairs).
A student dismissed from the School of Medicine may appeal
the dismissal decision. The appeal must be made in writing to the

LSU Health Sciences Center at Shreveport School of Medicine 87
Dean within 15 calendar days of notification of dismissal. Generally
requests for an appeal should be based on information not previously
considered.
If the appeal contains information not previously considered by the
committee, the Dean may reconvene the promotions committee. The
student, accompanied by a faculty advocate—if the student desires,
may attend the promotions committee’s meeting to present the new
information. The promotions committee will then deliberate, without
the student and the advocate present, to consider the new information
and may recommend to the Dean continuance or revocation of the
dismissal decision, or other actions.
If the Dean feels no new information is presented in the student’s
appeal, the Dean may confirm the dismissal decision or appoint a
faculty committee composed of an elected faculty council member,
an administrative council member, and three other faculty members;
the Dean will designate the chair. The faculty committee will review
the promotions committee findings and recommendation and the
student’s appeal. The committee will convene a meeting to hear the
student, accompanied by a faculty advocate—if the student desires.
The committee will then deliberate without the student and advocate
and recommend to the Dean continuance or revocation of the
dismissal decision or other actions.
The Dean’s decision after an appeal is the highest level of due
process. The decision may not be further appealed.
Leave Of Absence
A leave of absence may be granted by the Dean to a student
who has no course grades of less than a “C,” who is performing
satisfactorily in ongoing courses, and who has no non-academic
impediments. Leave may be taken for good cause, such as illness,
extreme personal hardship, or other appropriate reasons. On rare
occasions, the Dean may allow a leave of absence to a student
who is performing poorly academically, when it appears that such
performance may be related to illness, or other circumstances
beyond the student’s control. Under such circumstances, the Dean
may stipulate that upon return to medical school, the student must
maintain a specified level of academic performance or otherwise risk
dismissal from medical school. Students taking a short-term leave
of absence must make arrangements with the faculty involved for
completion of course work and other assignments.
For a student granted an LOA that may terminate within the
student’s academic year, course grades are recorded as the grade
earned at the time the LOA begins or as Incomplete (I). When the
student returns from the LOA within the student’s academic year and
completes the course, the Incomplete grade will be changed to the
earned grade. If the student does not return from the LOA within the
student’s academic year, the grades will be changed to Withdrawn
(W) at the end of the student’s academic year. The date that the
LOA is approved is the effective date of end of enrollment for the
student; the student’s enrollment is reported to the Clearinghouse as
withdrawn.
For a student granted an LOA that may not terminate within the
student’s academic year, course grades are recorded as the grade
earned or as Withdrawn (W) at the time the LOA begins. The date that
the LOA is approved is the effective date of end of enrollment for the
student; the student’s enrollment is reported to the Clearinghouse as
withdrawn.
Requirements For Graduation
1. Satisfactory completion of all course work and requirements
specified in the curriculum.
2. Enrollment as a student in the School of Medicine while
completing at least the final two academic years of course work

student’s Cost-of-Attendance for the next award year.
A complete detailing summary of all provisions governing financial
aid available to students of the Medical Center may be found in
the general section of this catalog under the heading: “STUDENT
FINANCIAL AID.”
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Each of the four classes elects officers for the academic year,
and activities are planned by the students with advice and counsel
from the faculty. The Student Executive Council, composed of elected
representatives from each of the classes of the School of Medicine
in Shreveport, and the School of Graduate Studies, functions as the
main legislative and administrative body for all Medical School and all
Graduate School students.
Students are encouraged to organize social activities, counseling
services, and voluntary educational and cultural projects to be carried
out by the students themselves. The Office of Student Affairs is
administratively responsible for assisting and advising the students in
their activities.
Alpha Omega Alpha is the national honor medical society.
Students are selected on the basis of their academic performance
and usually must be in the top sixteen percent of their class in order
to be elected.
Alpha Omega Alpha was founded nationally in 1902, at the
University of Illinois, and the Chapter at the School of Medicine in
Shreveport was established in 1973. The society’s major goal is
to stimulate academic excellence, and the local Chapter has been
instrumental in bringing outstanding physicians from around the
nation to Shreveport as lecturers and visiting professors.
and concerned as citizens in community problems, which do not
necessarily pertain directly to health.
The program of instruction, student experience, and the example
of faculty members in classrooms, laboratories, patient care clinics,
and hospitals is intended to foster the attitudes and develop the
competence referred to above. It is expected that many of the
graduates will select family practice or other primary care specialties,
but that those who elect other fields of practice will retain and enhance
their concern for the patient as a person, the patient’s family, and the
well being of the community.
It is realized that all students must learn the fundamentals of the
sciences basic to medicine, but that from the beginning, application
of these sciences to clinical medicine should be introduced. Basic
sciences taught in isolation may become onerous and uninspiring.
Early contact with patients is of great inspirational value. Abrupt
transition from study of the basic sciences to the clinical responsibilities
of the later years in School retards development of clinical acumen
and professional skills.
Studies relating humans to the environment will be undertaken
early. The principles of comprehensive health care will be presented
early, when students are most receptive, and later put into practice
through the medium of carefully planned and supervised experience.
Knowledge of the history of the profession, considered in relation
to the history of mankind, is a necessary attribute of the cultured
physician.
Basic and clinical science faculties offer students in each of the
four years the opportunity of participation in specific research projects.
Such endeavors may be selected as extracurricular electives in the
appropriate academic year.
Each student is required to take the Step 1 of the United States
Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) within a period of time as
specified by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs after satisfactorily
completing the second year of medical school. If a student fails the
first attempt at the Step 1, he/she may enroll in Special Topics or take
a leave of absence, in order to prepare for the second attempt at the
USMLE Step 1. If a student fails the second attempt at Step 1, he/she
must either enroll in Special Topics or may take a leave of absence, in
order to prepare for the third attempt at the USMLE Step 1 at a time
to be specified by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, to occur
near the end of the current academic year. Students who have failed
the USMLE Step 1 examination three times will be dismissed from the
School of Medicine.
The curricula of the third and fourth years consist largely
of supervised experience in patient care, with emphasis on the
development of clinical skills. All departments emphasize application
of the principles of comprehensive care. Forty percent of the fourth
year curriculum is elective, and opportunities are offered for extramural
and intramural elective work in all clinical specialties, basic sciences,
and in research. Each student must sit for the USMLE Step 2 in his/
her fourth year, although successful completion is not required for
graduation.
CURRICULUM
The most important objective of the School is to guide students
through their professional Education so that upon graduation they
will be competent, ethical physicians, motivated toward and capable
of providing health care of high quality to individuals and families,
and of initiating and participating in effective programs in community
health. It is expected that they will be compassionate toward their
patients, primarily person oriented, secondarily disease oriented,
