SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) - While some students prepare to return to the classroom, it was graduation day for some Ark-La-Tex medical students Saturday.
60 students walked across the stage Saturday and were awarded degrees from LSU Health Sciences Center in Shreveport.
The keynote speaker for this year's commencement exercise was Shreveport Chancellor, Dr. Robert Barish.
Barish says it's a great time to bring more doctors into the state of Louisiana.
"We just have outstanding graduates who are now going to help the citizens of Louisiana, we at LSUHSC in Shreveport are really proud to be a part of their training," said Barish.
Chancellor Barish added that nearly 90 percent of the new doctors will stay in Louisiana to practice.
Other majors ranged from Occupational Therapy to Cardio-Pulmonary Science.
