“One of my favorite parts of working at LSU Health Shreveport is the truly collaborative environment. This means trainees often interact with many faculty beyond their mentor and committee members. The widespread, open-door policy also stimulates trainees to engage members of other labs about their project, and that in turn frequently ignites new ideas and directions for their research. It truly is a ‘village’ approach to training!”
– Dr. Karen Stokes, Professor of Molecular and Cellular Physiology
