96 LSU Health Sciences Center at Shreveport <strong>School</strong> of <strong>Medicine</strong><br />

Education and the mission of the CME Program is to provide new<br />

information that will update current skills, provide state of the art<br />

technological training, and/or acquisition of new and innovative<br />

skills in the physician’s area of expertise and/or practice specialty.<br />

The primary audience for these efforts is the practicing physician<br />

community in the Ark-la-Tex geographic area, but not necessarily<br />

limited to this area. Educational opportunities range from a number<br />

of symposia, both regional and nationally, to audiovisual materials<br />

available by loan to individual physicians.<br />

PATIENT SERVICES<br />

In keeping with the mission of the LSU System, involving the<br />

“development of the highest levels of intellectual and professional<br />

endeavor in programs of instruction, research, and service,” the<br />

Health Sciences Center operates patient clinics staffed by full-time<br />

faculty members, with expertise in the complete range of specialties<br />

in the health sciences, offering services to other health professionals<br />

and the general public, on a fee for service basis. For further details<br />

regarding such patient services offered by the <strong>School</strong> of <strong>Medicine</strong> in<br />

Shreveport, call: (318) 675-5408.<br />

COMBINED M.D. and Ph.D.<br />

DEGREE PROGRAMS<br />

<strong>LSUHSC</strong> SHREVEPORT SCHOOL OF<br />

MEDICINE AND SCHOOL OF GRADUATE<br />

STUDIES<br />

The combined M.D./Ph.D. program is an option for a limited<br />

number of students with superior academic records and unusual<br />

research potential. In the course of the program, a student will pursue<br />

the medical curriculum for two years, spend three to four years as a<br />

graduate student to acquire the Ph.D., and finally spend two years<br />

completing the medical curriculum. Prospective students must first<br />

apply to and be accepted to the medical school. When applying, they<br />

should state their desire to enter the M.D./Ph.D. program. Criteria for<br />

consideration of admission are: MCAT scores of 28; GPA 3.5 (on<br />

a 4.0 scale); and GRE combined Verbal, Quantitative and Analytical<br />

score of at least 1800. The GRE is required. Students must maintain<br />

a B average or the equivalent, during the entire program. Students<br />

must fulfill all the requirements of the Doctor of medicine and the<br />

Doctor of Philosophy degrees.<br />

If a student withdraws from either the M.D. or Ph.D. portion of the<br />

program the student is required to reimburse all tuition and fees paid<br />

or waived.<br />

An integrated program leading to both degrees is offered jointly by<br />

the schools of <strong>Medicine</strong> and Graduate Studies. Applicants must apply<br />

to and be admitted by both schools and by the M.D.-Ph.D. Committee,<br />

which oversees the program. Students take the first two years of<br />

medical school and must pass Step-1 of the USMLE, then enroll as<br />

graduate students in the basic science department to which they were<br />

admitted. Once all requirements for the Ph.D. have been met, the<br />

student completes years three and four of medical school. Applicants<br />

should apply through AMCAS in the usual way for admission to the<br />

medical school, and should contact the Associate Dean for Graduate<br />

Studies at the Health Sciences Center in Shreveport for more details.<br />
