Newswise — Inez Evans, cancer registry manager at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, has been named the new president of the National Cancer Registrars Association (NCRA). She has been a member of NCRA since 1983 and has been involved in NCRA activities since 1998.
"Being a registrar I know that, in some small way, I am contributing to the fight against cancer," said Evans.
NCRA is a not-for-profit association representing cancer registry professionals and certified tumor registrars (CTR). The primary focus of NCRA is education and certification with the goal to ensure that all cancer registry professionals have the required knowledge to be superior in their field.
Evans, an employee at the Medical Center for almost 30 years, has an associate of arts degree in health information technology from Central Piedmont Community College and a bachelor of science degree in business management from Gardner-Webb University. She is a certified CTR and a registered health information technologist. In 1994, Evans received the Luna M. Woods Award for professional excellence from the Association of North Carolina Cancer Registrars.
