Fifty-six percent, or 98 of 175 LSU Health New Orleans graduating medical students participating in the National Resident Match Program this year, chose to remain in Louisiana to complete their medical training, the school said.
Seventy-eight percent of those staying in-state will enter an LSU Health residency program. The LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine residency programs in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles and Bogalusa will accept 219 new residents.
“The pandemic has starkly shown the value of dedicated and skilled physicians,” said Dr. Larry Hollier, chancellor of LSU Health New Orleans. “Their valiant and tireless efforts have saved many, many lives over the past year. We are so proud of LSU Health New Orleans medical faculty and of our graduating medical students, the majority of whom will soon join these heroes to take care of Louisiana patients.”
The percentage of LSU Health New Orleans medical graduates going into primary care is 56% this year. Primary care specialties include family practice, internal medicine, medicine-preliminary, medicine-primary, sbstetrics-gynecology, pediatrics, and medicine-pediatrics. OB-GYN is not always included in primary care data, but in some Louisiana communities the only physician is an OB-GYN.
“Match Day this year was an entirely different experience for our fourth-year medical students and their families,” adds Dr. Steve Nelson, dean of the School of Medicine at LSU Health New Orleans. “The excitement of reaching this milestone has been tempered by this unprecedented health crisis. We could not hold a ceremony, so our medical graduates received their letters electronically. They privately celebrated the news of where they will go to complete their medical training, and we are pleased that over half of them will stay right here at home.”
Of the 69 accredited residency and fellowship programs under LSU Health New Orleans, 35 participated in the Main NRMP Match whose results were released Monday. They are anesthesiology, child neurology, dermatology, emergency medicine (Baton Rouge and New Orleans), family practice (Kenner, Bogalusa, Lafayette and Lake Charles), internal medicine (Baton Rouge, Lafayette and New Orleans), interventional radiology, medicine-preliminary (Baton Rouge, Lafayette and New Orleans), neurological surgery, neurology, obstetrics-gynecology (Baton Rouge and New Orleans), orthopedic surgery, otolaryngology, pathology, pediatrics, physical medicine and rehabilitation, plastic surgery, psychiatry (Baton Rouge and New Orleans), radiology, general surgery, surgery-preliminary, vascular surgery, medicine-pediatrics, medicine-emergency Medicine and pediatrics-emergency medicine.
“LSU Health New Orleans medical graduates are in demand.” adds Dr. Cathy Lazarus, associate dean for student affairs at LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine.
“Those who pursue different experiences at this stage of their training are going to some of the most prestigious out-of-state programs.
"Many of them will bring the benefits of these experiences home when they return to Louisiana to practice.”
LSU Health New Orleans medical graduates who matched training programs in other states will be going to such highly regarded programs as Johns Hopkins, Emorya University, the University of Alabama-Birmingham, University of Michigan, and Stanford University, among others. The Match, conducted annually by the National Resident Matching Program, is the primary system that matches applicants to residency programs with available positions at U.S. teaching hospitals and academic health centers. The choices of the students are entered into a software program as are the choices of the institutions with residency programs. All U.S. graduating medical students found out at the same time today where they "matched" and where they will spend their years of residency training. National studies have found that a high number of physicians set up their permanent practices in the areas where they have completed their residency programs, but Louisiana is different from many states. A high percentage of LSU Health medical graduates come home to establish their practices. The vast majority of physicians providing care to the citizens of Louisiana are LSU Health-trained doctors.
The National Residency Matching Program was established in 1952 to provide an orderly and fair mechanism to match the preferences of applicants for U.S. residency positions with residency program choices of applicants. The program provides a common time for the announcement of the appointments, as well as an agreement for programs and applicants to honor the commitment to offer and accept an appointment if a match results.
Residency programs are scheduled to begin on July 1, 2021.

Coloring eggs is a beloved Easter tradition. Eggs long have been symbols of fertility and rebirth, making them fitting icons for spring.
One story links eggs to Easter as well. According to some religious scholars, Mary Magdalene, the woman who was the first person to see Jesus Christ after His resurrection, was holding a plain egg in her hand while waiting for the emperor to share the good news. The emperor then told her that Jesus’ resurrection was as improbable as that egg suddenly blushing. The egg then turned red.
Dyeing eggs is an entertaining activity, but one that also may have some religious significance.
Many families will color eggs this Easter, and these guidelines can make the process go smoothly.
—Wait until just before coloring to hard-boil eggs. Good Housekeeping recommends boiling eggs for 11 minutes for a hard boil. Do not chill the eggs afterward; warm eggs absorb color more effectively for more vivid results.
—Egg dye can stain furniture, clothing or tablecloths. Therefore, dress in clothing that you’re not worried about staining. Also, cover work surfaces with an old tablecloth and newspapers to soak up any spills.
—Make a drying rack to ensure that eggs will dry evenly. This can be a rimmed cookie sheet lined with layers of paper towels to absorb any excess dye that runs off the eggs. Or push pins into thick foam board and place the eggs on top to allow air to circulate.
—Consider using glass bowls or ceramic mugs to house the colored dye solutions. These vessels are more sturdy than plastic cups, and less likely to be overturned by eager young hands.
—Scissor-style tongs are ideal tools for retrieving eggs from the dye. Eggs tend to slide off of the spoons or wire rings provided in kits, leading to splashing and kids dunking their fingers in to grab eggs.
—Stir dyeing cups often to guarantee consistent color.
—Use electrical tape to make patterns on Easter eggs. Dip the eggs and let dry. Afterwards, remove the tape to reveal the designs.
—If food coloring-based dyes seem too messy, use watercolor paint sets and allow everyone to get creative.
While some people may want to use Easter eggs for recipes later on, it may be safer to boil up a fresh batch of eggs for that purpose, even if it seems wasteful.
According to Emily Rubin, RD, LDN of the Thomas Jefferson University Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, “hard-boiled eggs should be refrigerated within two hours of cooking and discarded if left out for more than two hours at room temperature.” Chances are it may take two hours or more for children to find hard-boiled eggs hidden by the Easter bunny.
