[3] After joining the NCI division of cancer epidemiology and genetics (DCEG), she earned her doctorate in Nursing Practice from the University of Maryland School of Nursing in 2008, and completed NCI’s year-long Senior Executive Enrichment & Development (STEED) Program in 2009. [3]
In 2008, Loud was appointed assistant chief of the NCI Clinical Genetics Branch.
