Louisiana Tech graduates complete medical school at LSUHSC-Shreveport
Thirteen recent Louisiana Tech University graduates have earned their Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degrees after graduating this spring from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine in Shreveport.
All 13 of these students successfully gained admission to medical school upon graduation from Louisiana Tech, applying the skills and the quality educational and research experiences each of them received while at Tech. Each graduated Louisiana Tech between the winter 2011 and winter 2012 quarters.
“The Department of Biology at Louisiana Tech fosters an environment that offers key advantages to medical school applicants,” said Dr. Kevin Hebert, a 2012 graduate of Louisiana Tech who will be doing his residency at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. “Small class sizes and approachable world-class professors are two unique qualities Louisiana Tech provides. These characteristics were instrumental in learning a solid biology foundation needed to success in medical school and beyond.”
“We are very proud of all of these students who have successfully completed their medical school education and are now moving into their residencies,” says Dr. William Campbell, director of the School of Biological Sciences at Louisiana Tech.
The new M.D.s are listed below with their year of graduation and degree from Louisiana Tech, and their medical residency.
