The House Resolution No. by Representative Jordan urges the Board of Supervisors of Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College to take the necessary actions to establish a medical school on the Baton Rouge campus. This initiative is driven by the significant interest in creating a medical school that would not only provide educational opportunities for local students but also address the growing workforce demands in the medical field, particularly in underserved communities throughout Baton Rouge and Louisiana.

The resolution highlights the potential benefits of having a medical school at Southern University, the only historically black college and university (HBCU) system in the nation, as it would attract talented students to the area and encourage them to remain in the community as healthcare professionals. It also emphasizes the importance of collaboration between the Southern University Board of Supervisors and the Board of Regents to assess the feasibility and need for this new educational institution, ultimately aiming to improve health outcomes in the state.
