Why develop Graduate Medical Education at North Oaks?
According to a recent study by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the U.S. will face a significant shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036—particularly in primary care.
Training future physicians and medical leaders in Louisiana is critical to improving outcomes and meeting the growing needs of our community.
North Oaks values medical education and training, and President & Chief Executive Officer Michele K. Sutton, FACHE, is pleased to help shape the future of healthcare in the region.
Through the North Oaks GME program, we will drive excellence in quality and process improvement, using innovative care models that address chronic disease management.
