Deniscer Peeler, LPN, is a nurse at Baptist Memorial Health Care/Mid South MU-NCORP in Memphis, Tennessee. She received CRA/Nurse Travel Support funding from The Hope Foundation to attend her first SWOG Cancer Research Network group meeting this past October.
Clinical research associates (CRAs) often serve as the face of clinical trials for patients, and in recent years we’ve prioritized ensuring these members have opportunities for professional development and community engagement through group meeting attendance. Ms. Peeler explained that at the end of the meeting, she felt more confident and informed:
“The group meeting showed me that my work as a CRA is important. I felt much more confident in my capabilities and more knowledgeable about SWOG studies.”
