At its most recent commencement, LSU Health Shreveport recognized three standout faculty members with the university system’s most prestigious teaching honor in Medicine, the Allen A. Copping Excellence in Teaching Award.
This annual award, established in 1997, is named after the late Dr. Allen A. Copping, former Chancellor of LSU Medical Center and former President of the LSU System. These awards celebrate the educators who are uniquely gifted in imparting knowledge, possess a lifelong quest for discovery and who lead by example in fostering a sense of caring and compassion into the next generation of healthcare providers. These recipients represent the very best of LSU Health Shreveport’s three schools: Medicine, Graduate Studies and Health Professions and Sciences. All were nominated by students and are chosen by a committee of colleagues and students, based on their academic teaching and impact. The award is a hallmark of the LSU System, awarded annually at both LSU Health Shreveport and LSU Health New Orleans.
