This State Needs a New Medical School

[CajunVic]

Stupid question, but can you create a medical school without having to operate a hospital alongside it? I'd love to see a medical school at UL, but I could see how having to create, manage, and fund a hospital would be a nearly insurmountable obstacle for us.

There is already one basically on campus - UMC - that is run by the State. This guy never fails to be limited.

but i thought the moral of the reb story is there arent enough hospitals...hmmm

When 71 graduated from med school, he took 6 or 7 visits to hospitals where he would spend the next 3 to 5 years in residency. Every hospital had 1st and 2nd year residents in the 63 to just under 70k salary. Some that offered less money, offered more job perks. Point is, all teaching hospitals basically offer the same deal to residents. If I recall, Laf. General was in that pay range..

It isn’t run by the state you dumbazz. It is run by LGMC. And before it was LGMC it was run by a freakin’ medical school.

Ignore.

Maybe not - I forgot that we have a teaching hospital, right there on campus. All it needs is a medical school to go with it.

Sorry? I thought your name was 71 and you said "when 71 graduated".... Instead of saying when i graduated?
