Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Alumni

 

Graduates of our program have gone on to careers in primary care, hospital medicine, community-based medicine, academia, and a whole host of subspecialties. They are leaders in their communities and their fields. Many choose to stay right here in New Orleans, but many also relocate across the country, so you may encounter an alumni wherever you are!
