FORTE Workshop at #NRG2024
The FORTE Workshop was held on Friday, February 16, where Dr. Bruner, NCORP Contact PI, championed the importance of this colorectal cancer prevention clinical trial. Topics discussed include an overview of the trial’s progress and protocol practices for FORTE success (Dr. Robert Schoen, Protocol Chair), discussing FORTE with gastroenterologists (Dr. Jeffrey Dueker, Protocol Co-Chair), FORTE enrollment at Kaiser Permanente Northern California (Jasmine Deras), and promoting FORTE within your clinical research network (Cheryl Leow, FORTE Education and Communication Specialist). The FORTE Workshop included a vibrant Q&A session, with engaged discussion with sites at different activation and accrual levels. Watch the FORTE Workshop recording to review these topics and more.
