I'm a CA-3 resident now, so my information is a little outdated, but the program had a very poor reputation when I was interviewing. They were also on probation at the time. I specifically remember a resident at another program stating that you would get a good education and find a job at any residency program, except LSU Shreveport. It was an interesting off the cuff comment that demonstrated the mood surrounding the program at that time. That being said, I went and interviewed there (before I knew anything about the program) and they seemed very pleasant. I didn't really get the feeling that they were very strong, at anything, but I didn't see anything specifically that was obviously lacking. You also need to consider whether or not you'd be happy in Shreveport. One of the things that I remember most about the experience was the razor wire that was surrounding the hospital parking lot. I ranked all but 2 places that I interviewed at, with LSU Shreveport being one that I didn't rank.
