BRG Welcomes New Class of Residents

Baton Rouge General proudly has welcomed 18 new doctors to its family medicine and internal medicine training programs. The physicians will complete their residency training at both the Bluebonnet and Mid City campuses, which provide a clinical setting for Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, Anesthesia, Psychiatry, and General Surgery Residency Programs. Through Baton Rouge General’s residency programs, family medicine and internal medicine residents served more than 40,000 patients over the past year.

“With more than 100 residents and students training here each year, we are committed to continually improving the quality training experiences that began at this institution more than 20 years ago – not only for future physicians, but also for students in our Nursing and Radiologic Technology programs,” said Dr. Robert Kenney, Vice President of Medical Operations and Regional Dean of the Tulane Campus at Baton Rouge General. 

Through its education programs, the hospital trains annually more than 500 medical students, residents, fellows, nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, certified registered nurse anesthetists, and radiation technologists, and provides instructional locations for medical students from other schools, including Tulane and LSU.
