LSU pours millions into STEM and research, yet Baton Rouge still doesn’t have its own medical school—despite a looming doctor shortage and sky-high rejection rates for Louisiana’s aspiring physicians. Students here are forced to choose between distant campuses in New Orleans or Shreveport, neither of which are ideal for safety or community ties. With new science buildings and plenty of classroom space, why isn’t LSU stepping up to meet this urgent need? Investing in a local med school could change the game for students and healthcare in our city. What do you think Baton Rouge needs most right now? #Health #BodyHealth #BatonRouge
