Programs and Services


Continuing Medical Education (CME)

The general types of activities conducted by the CME Department include special conferences, lectures, recurring conferences, study group activities and special seminars. The CME program goal is to promote changes in practice methods and improve patient outcomes.

Community Education

The Foundation also sponsors related forums, lectures and educational programs for the community on topics of concern. Current on-going programs include sessions on puberty, college preparedness for high school juniors, legal rights and responsibilities for young parents and baby-sitter training. WFI also sponsors the annual week-long Women’s Health Expo and coordinates the efforts of the community based Healthy Lifestyle Coalition.

UL and LSU-E Nursing Scholarship Opportunities

The scholarship is named in memory of one of the founding board members of Woman’s Foundation, a prominent Lafayette citizen and physician, Frem F Boustany Jr, MD. Doctor Boustany passed away in August 1988. The original guidelines were approved and accepted December 20, 1988. The initial scholarship award was made in the Spring 1989.
