Salario de Cirujano en Louisiana (2026)

Vale la pena saber: The Ochsner Multi-Organ Transplant Institute is one of the country's most distinctive concentrated US transplant programs HQ'd in the Gulf South and a feature most national surgeon compensation surveys understate for LA. The Ochsner Transplant Institute (founded 1988 at Ochsner NOLA, ~600+ kidney + ~250+ liver + ~50+ heart transplants annually, the country's largest LA transplant program + the largest US Gulf South transplant program by volume across kidney + liver + heart + pancreas + lung programs) operates substantial multi-organ transplant surgery work serving LA + MS + AL + AR + TX referral catchment. University Medical Center NOLA (LCMC + LSU + Tulane jointly affiliated, the only LA Level 1 trauma center + only LA verified pediatric trauma center, ~440 beds opened 2015 post-Katrina replacing the legendary Charity Hospital that served NOLA from 1736-2005) supports substantial high-acuity trauma + emergency + specialty surgery serving as the only LA Level 1 trauma center catchment covering ~1.2M+ NOLA metro residents. Children's Hospital New Orleans (LCMC, ~225 beds, the only LA verified pediatric Level 1 trauma center + the LSU + Tulane SOM pediatric teaching hospital) supports substantial pediatric surgery work. Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center BR (FMOL Health System, ~800 beds, the largest BR area hospital + the only LA Catholic academic medical center with substantial cardiothoracic + neurosurgery + transplant + orthopedic surgery programs) supports substantial BR surgical services. LA's Interstate Medical Licensure Compact participation since 2019 + the substantial LA Level 1 trauma + tertiary academic + transplant clusters support distinctive high-acuity LA surgical work. LA's flat 3% (post-2024 Act 11) + LA RTW since 1976 + no state estate tax + the 2024 federal income tax deduction repeal for individuals = relevant context for high-earner LA surgeon comp modeling.
