LSU Health Shreveport’s chancellor has announced his resignation.
David Guzick resigned April 23 following two years of leadership at the medical school in Shreveport.
Guzick assumed his position as chancellor of LSUHS on Jan. 9, 2023.
“I am now thrilled to embark on the task of building an elite, functionally integrated academic health center in North Louisiana,” Guzick told the Shreveport Times in 2023. “A powerful virtuous circle of education, research and patient care that will grow in size, scope and stature, and serve as an economic engine for the region.”
According to Louisiana Illuminator, Guzick’s resignation comes months after pressure from an LSU Board member. LSU Board member Esperanza Moran called for Guzick’s dismissal during the boards September meeting.
This announcement comes just a month after the school celebrated its largest Match Day ceremony.
This is a developing story.
