Dr. Gloria Laws has always wanted to be a physician, but getting there has been quite a journey! She started out as a registered nurse, and then a nurse practitioner for about 5 years in Texas before deciding to go to medical school. By this time, she was married with two young children, and her youngest daughter was only one year old. However, she was determined to fulfill her childhood dream.
Gloria transferred to Avalon University School of Medicine in 2019. A major attraction of Avalon was the fact that it has many clinical rotation sites at residency-affiliated hospitals where she could complete clinical rotations without interruption. This allowed her to complete her clinical rotations and successfully pass USMLE Step 2 in only two years. Thankfully, after graduating from Avalon, Gloria was fortunate to receive 20+ interviews for residency and successfully matched into her top choice residency program at LSU Shreveport -Alexandria Family Medicine Residency.
