Congratulations Dr. Conley!

Dr. Claire Conley is the sole winner of this year's prestigious American Society of Preventive Oncology-Breast Cancer Research Foundation 2019 Research Fellowship in Cancer Research award. The project Dr. Conley submitted is titled "Barriers to Screening Breast MRI Utilization among Patients at Elevated Risk (B-SUPER)." Although women at high risk for breast cancer should have annual breast MRI's, few women actually receive this screening. This study will provide patients who receive care in the community setting to share their perspectives on the barriers to receiving breast MRI.
