Now is the time to fall in love with New Orleans all over again! The cultural riches, sensual indulgences and unparalleled service that define the New Orleans experience continue to flourish, as they have for centuries.

More restaurants are open in New Orleans than ever before. Some people eat to live, but New Orleanians live to eat! As a result, the city offers one of the most incredible – and incredibly diverse – concentrations of exceptional dining and unforgettable cuisine in the world.

Whether you are a fan of football, basketball, baseball, golf, running, yachting, fishing, horse racing, or virtually any other competitive sport you can imagine, New Orleans is one of the nation's top places to compete . . . and enjoy watching competitions.

We participate in a wide variety of multicenter clinical trials, at times originating such investigations and serving as the principal site. On the teaching front, our first medical school class started January 2009.

The position and organization will afford you a superior quality of life (100% EP), a collaborative environment with your peers, generous compensation and benefits, and the flexibility and autonomy to expand the section.
