It was one of those undeniable big-deal announcements: Just short of a year ago, on July 2, 2024, St. Tammany Health System welcomed the inaugural class of Family Medicine resident physicians to the first-in-the-region St. Tammany Health System/Ochsner Family Medine Residency program.

At the time, the program was hailed as a game-changer, both for its goal of training the next generation of family medicine doctors but also as a homegrown solution to the still-lingering national shortage of physicians.

For this latest episode of Northshore Healthbeat, we sat down with program director Dr. Lisa Casey and first-year resident Dr. Meghan Castillo to discuss the successes and goals of the Family Medicine residency program as it nears the one-year mark.
