Nursing Services
Our experienced clinical research nurses are trained to assist you in the conduct of your research. The nursing staff has a breadth of clinical and research experience encompassing clinical care on a continuum of healthy volunteers to intensely diseased participants. Our nursing practice is guided by scientific knowledge, ethical codes, and research standards.
We facilitate new studies by working closely with the study team to meet the specific needs of each protocol. In addition, we facilitate individualized education to ensure staff has the knowledge and skills to carry out each research protocol effectively.
