Alumni Spotlight
Laura graduated from the EVMS/ODU Graduate Program in Public Health with her MPH degree (Epidemiology concentration) in May 2015. She has been with the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) in Dallas, Texas since August 2015. She is a Clinical Research Coordinator for Internal Medicine, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine for the Adult Cystic Fibrosis Program. She coordinates many pharmaceutical sponsored clinical trials. Her duties include regulatory management, creation of consent forms, site training, site activation and initiation, conducting study visits, data collection, data entry, specimen processing, safety report management, study drug management, and CF registry data entry. Laura also handles protocol management, collects and analyzes data for investigator initiated studies.
Laura is very happy with her position which was a long time desire to work in research. She also says, "Learning more about this rare disease and actually seeing the children and adults that live with this genetic mutation - especially their modified lifestyle, motivates me each day to work towards a drug that can add more years to their lives."
Laura believes that her education and training from the MPH program has properly prepared her for this position and is very grateful for her professors and advisers, most especially Dr. Cunningham, Mrs. Pautz and Mr. Flannery.
