Laura Stuecher, RN, BSN, CCRP
QA/QI Research Specialist
Corewell Health
I began my research career in Emergency Research as a coordinator for 5 years. This role provided foundational experience of research regulations, exposure to a variety of study designs, and certification through a professional research organization. This experience allowed me to transition to a Clinical Research Nurse Senior position for 4 years. In this position I connected with team members to provide education, monitoring support, clinicaltrials.gov support, and auditing support to not only the research institute but also the IRB. My current role, since late 2024, is a QA/QI Research Specialist. In this position, it was into the thick of it as program design was the first order of business as there was no existing QA/QI department. Tackling this task required critical thinking, collaboration and good use of all resources available.
