The Foundation works to cultivate student career choice in the specialty of family medicine and ensure a thriving family physician workforce for Louisiana. Foundation programs have benefited our Louisiana medical students and residents by providing event scholarships and programming to offer meaningful, family medicine-focused experiences. Without our donors, the Foundation’s mission to cultivate student career choice in the specialty of family medicine would not be possible.
