Growing our Health Care Team

The School of Allied Health Professions (SAHP) was established 44 years ago on April 2, 1970. Since the School’s incep-

tion, we have grown from 1 program to 9 academic programs. The SAHP offers various undergraduate and graduate de-

grees, including Audiology, Cardiovascular Sonography, Clinical Laboratory Sciences, Occupational Therapy, Physical Thera-

py, Physician Assistant, Rehabilitation Counseling, Respiratory Therapy, and Speech-Language Pathology. The School contin-

ues to see an increase in the number of applications, enrolled students and graduates over the past 5 years. In spite of con-

tinual state budget challenges, the School continues to fulfill its mission of educating future healthcare professionals. As not-

ed in the increase of applicants, the LSUHSC SAHP continues to attract students who exemplify excellence in learning and

personal development. In addition, the School continues to contribute to the labor supply needed in health care, through

increased admissions numbers and increased diversity of health care programs offered.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, allied health professionals have a faster than average job outlook profile as

compared to other professions. In order to prepare students for the clinical environment, the SAHP has developed affilia-

tions with over 460 clinical sites. In addition, the School has 125 faculty and staff members who support the ongoing educa-

tion for students, alumni and colleagues. Our success would not be possible without the support of alumni, friends, faculty,

staff and students.

A recent donation to the Clinical Labora-

tory Sciences (CLS) department by Ad-

vanced Clinical Communications in Me-

tairie, LA has funded the purchase a ther-

mocycler. A thermocycler is commonly

used to amplify small amounts of DNA

via the polymerase chain reaction. In-

creasing the amount of DNA can assist

forensic scientists and scientists studying

genetic diseases. This is the first time the

CLS department has been able to pur-

chase a thermocycler, and this piece of

equipment will be used primarily in the

molecular diagnostics course. The stu-

dents are excited about being able to

learn about and use this piece of equip-

ment in their studies. For more infor-

mation about the CLS program, please
