To our PM&R alumni and friends:
Our LSU PM&R Program has flourished since its inception in the 1970s. Katrina dealt us a mighty blow in 2005, but the restructuring made the program stronger, evolving with changing hospital systems and with the integration of new advanced technologies. Our Pain Fellowship, first accredited in 2004, continues to be one of the minority PM&R-based ACGME accredited pain fellowships in the country and has solidified LSU PM&R’s reputation as one of the most procedurally strong programs in the country. The fellowship has served well in the formation of some excellent pain physicians and continues to be a strong recruiting tool and point of interest among LSU students.
LSU PM&R also started an ACGME accredited Pediatric Rehab Fellowship at Manning Family Children’s in July 2025. The addition of this fellowship further diversified LSU PM&R’s clinical footprint and expanded PM&R training to those residents / fellows interested in filling a critical need for PM&R in this vulnerable population.In recent years, PM&R has grown to be one of the most competitive medical specialties for applying students, and our programs have been blessed with exceptionally strong residents and fellows. Unfortunately, as a state-sponsored university program, we are subject to the vagaries of economics where financial resources are limited and unpredictable. We have no large corporate or private funding to support PM&R program improvement or residency education.For those alumni who have benefitted from your training with LSU PM&R and may feel called to give back toward the betterment of current trainees, please consider giving to LSU PM&R through the LSU Health Foundation. These are the only funds available for us to improve the training experience for both the PM&R program and our fellowships. Donations to our programs can be made via the following funds:
Hopefully your training has led to success in practice. If so, we respectfully ask that you consider contributing to our funds for the betterment of our trainees and the field of PM&R.
Thank you.PM&R Section Chief - Gary Glynn, MD
