FMOL Health | Our Lady of the Lake joined with LSU Health School of Medicine Baton Rouge Campus on May 7 to host Quality and Research Day, an annual research fair and opportunity for LSU medical students and FMOL Health residents and fellows to present their academic research and findings.
LSU kinesiology professor Neil Johannsen delivered a keynote presentation titled “Chronic Health Trajectories Across the Spectrum of Physical Activity: A Review of Sedentary, Aging, Current and Past Physically Active and Retired Athletes.” Johannsen’s work explores how movement — or the lack of it — shapes long-term health outcomes, offering insights that resonate deeply with FMOL Health’s mission to advance patient care through evidence, innovation and collaboration.
The annual event was held from 7:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in the hospital’s Heart and Vascular Institute Auditorium and Lecture Hall. Hundreds of guests came out to celebrate the healthcare leaders and innovators of tomorrow.
LSU’s Championship Health Partner, Our Lady of the Lake, annually welcomes LSU medical students, as well as health system residents and fellows, to work closely with academics, medical, and clinical staff in professional laboratories to perform scientific research. Mentorship supports personal development and professional success in both an FMOL Health career and an LSU Health education.
Participants in Thursday’s research fair delivered poster presentations in the following categories: original research, evidence-based research, performance improvement, and case report or case studies. All participants collaborated with a faculty member or a senior attending physician.
