The CCTS Clinical Research Unit (CRU) has announced it will offer a clinic on the first Wednesday of every month, starting September 7. From 11:30am to 1:00pm at PCAMS, investigators can meet with our research-trained nurses to discuss their protocols.

“Our goals are to meet the needs of principal investigators while supporting the highest level of excellence in clinical and translational research, said CRU Nurse Manager Jolene Lewis, MSN, RN. “We are well trained in Good Clinical Practice Guidelines and offer highly skilled, safe, efficient, and compassionate care.” The CRU team’s experience encompasses the entire care spectrum, from healthy volunteers to intensive end-stage participants.

The CRU offers numerous services—both inpatient and outpatient—to support the needs of clinical trials and studies. These include:

• Medication administration/ Intravenous therapy
• Pharmacokinetic sampling
• Nursing assessment
• Patient education
• Treatment monitoring
• Point-of-care testing
• Cardiac & pulse oximetry monitoring
• Venipuncture/phlebotomy
• Questionnaire administration
