Latino Cancer Patient Advocacy Training
Patient health leaders help cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and others navigate the healthcare system and raise the Latino voice in research.
As cancer continues to be a top cause of death for Latinos and all people, patient health leadership is key to better understanding the population鈥檚 needs and access to preventative screenings, treatments, survivorship, and palliative care.
That鈥檚 why we host the Latino Cancer Patient Advocate Training Program.
In 2024, at our 鈥淎dvancing Cancer Research for Latinos and All Populations鈥 Conference, 15 Latina women from across the country came together for the first in-person meeting of the Latino Cancer Patient Advocate Training Program, an initiative to teach cancer survivors to become research patient health leaders.
.
With the success of the 2024 鈥 2025 training, we are excited to announce that training has begun for our 2025-2026 Latino Cancer Patient Advocacy Program! Our new trainees have been selected and will be meeting in person at the 2026 Advancing Cancer Research for Latinos and All Populations Conference.
