bring data for Exempla Lutheran’s research department up to date. There were many years of outstanding case report
forms that needed to be submitted as well as several outstanding queries. In the six months working for this facility the

All participants needed to be consented/re-consented to take part in the centralized follow up. The consent and
registration to the centralized follow up allowed for the collection of cancer control credits from the NCI that was crucial
