NOTE: LSU Health requires successful completion of a standard criminal record check (background check), and a drug screen (including cannabis/marijuana) as part of the new hire onboarding process. A positive test for marijuana, even with a medical marijuana card, will prevent hiring or result in termination. Criminal or other concerning history identified in a background check will be reviewed by the Training Director, the Graduate Medical Education Committee and, if applicable, LSU Health Shreveport Compliance, on a case-by-case basis to determine if there are mitigating factors that warrant proceeding with the onboarding process. LSU Health Shreveport follows all applicable federal and state laws in conducting any background screening.
