Dr. Laurie Anne Ferguson, Associate Professor of Nursing, published a manuscript on autoimmune hepatitis in the first issue of the 2014 Journal of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.  She is also an integral part of a five-year, innovative colorectal cancer study funded by a $1.3 million grant from the American Cancer Society. She is part of a team studying how people understand basic health information and services, and how that understanding—or lack of understanding—relates to patients getting screened for colorectal cancer. Thus, her contributions to teaching are based on continuing actual experience as a nurse practitioner and researcher.

Kudos to Dr. Ferguson for her excellent work!
