I have done all but 6 weeks of my clinical experience here in Houma, La. I will finish up my last core rotation of Surgery in about 3 weeks and continue to do almost all of my electives here at Chabert.

I can say very confidently that my experience here at Chabert Medical Center has met all my expectation and more. This is not to say that there were moments of frustration but, I believe that doing my clinicials here have provided me with hands on training that I just don't think you will find in many hospitals.

In addition, those of us at Chabert have had the enlightening experience of doing clinicals with some of the LSU 3rd and 4th year medical students since Hurricane Katrina went through southeast Louisiana. Let me just say that anyone who is ashamed of our basic science education at MUA needs to wake-up. MUA and SABA students have done the IMG's proud.

Good luck to you all.
