Baton Rouge General places a high value on interpersonal communication
and relationships. The Family Medicine Residency Program thrives on participation
from everyone involved and seeks input from residents, faculty, staff
and the community. Members of this program continually find themselves
involved in the decision-making process.
The Family Medicine Residency Program is the only residency
program sponsored by, funded by, and based at Baton Rouge General. Often
our residents work one-on-one with community-based faculty/physicians
in their offices and on hospital rounds.
Baton Rouge General’s Graduate Medical Education
office employs a full-time administrative and support staff under the
directorship of our Chief Medical Officer, Floyd Roberts, MD. More than
75 Baton Rouge area physicians serve as part-time clinical faculty for
GME rotations at the General in addition to the core faculty of the Family
Medicine Residency Program.
