Dr. Carmen Guerra is Associate Director for Diversity and Outreach at the Abramson Cancer Center. She is the Ruth C. and Raymond G. Perelman Professor and Vice Chair of Diversity and Inclusion in the Department of Medicine at the Perelman School of Medicine. Dr. Guerra is a general internist trained in epidemiology and a cancer equity researcher. Dr. Guerra's research focuses on reducing disparities in accessing cancer screenings and cancer clinical trials by underserved populations. Dr. Guerra leads ACC's Community Outreach and Engagement (COE). As part of that work, ACC has established partnerships with community organizations to design, implement and evaluate strategies and interventions to increase the participation of underrepresented minorities in cancer screening, treatment and research at the ACC. In addition, these partnerships have allowed for the dissemination and implementation of cancer research and evidence-based cancer risk and screening strategies to reduce the burden of cancer in the catchment area.
