Today on the pod we talk about cancer survivorship with Sanna Ali, MSN, CRNP, an Oncology nurse practitioner (NP), cancer survivorship researcher and advocate, and PhD student at the School of Nursing at George Washington University. She currently practices at the GW Center for Integrative Medicine.

In her role as an NP, she saw first-hand the multifaceted, complex issues that burden cancer survivors. She decided to pursue her PhD to develop the research skills needed for knowledge generation and scientific discovery that will improve the quality of life and outcomes for cancer survivors. She has presented her PhD-related work both locally and nationally. She received a Sigma Theta Tau International, Phi Epsilon Chapter Small Grant for 2023-2024 to support her project, “Perspectives and attitudes of oncology professionals related to cancer survivorship: A qualitative case study.”

NP Ali is the Maryland State Liaison for the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) where she works to advance and support the NP profession at the state and national levels. She is also a member of the National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS) Champions program for clinicians and researchers interested in improving care for cancer survivors.
