Extractions: No. 16 Fall 1999 1999 Medical Job Fair Links Residents to Facilities The results are in! Based on participant evaluations, the 1999 Medical Job Fair of Louisiana was an overwhelming success. Resident and practicing physicians stated that the Job Fair provided an avenue for evaluating multiple options in one setting. Exhibitors were pleased with the number and quality of the residents attending the fair. The fair attracted several pediatricians from a board review meeting taking place in the Hyatt at the same time. This added to the excitement due to the large demand around the state for pediatricians . The site of the 1999 Job Fair was the Hyatt Regency New Orleans Hotel. The Hyatt was selected due to its proximity to the medical schools and the available exhibit space configurations. Breakout sessions were conducted adjacent to the exhibit hall, allowing participants to move between events easily and with minimal time loss. The layout of food and beverages in the exhibit area proved to be a big hit with exhibitors. Placing food and beverages adjacent to booths increased the interaction between exhibitors and medical participants. Seventy-seven (77) resident and practicing physicians attended the fair. The number of physicians was in line with prior years; 68 in 1997 and 78 in 1996. Approximately 40 residents attended the 1998 fair in spite of the tropical storm that flooded New Orleans during the fair. The 1999 residency programs represented included Alton Ochsner, Tulane, Baton Rouge General, Baylor Family Practice in Houston, University of Alabama-Birmingham, University of Texas-Beaumont as well as the following LSU programs; Shreveport, Monroe, Lake Charles, Lafayette, Baton Rouge, Kenner and New Orleans.
