The specific aims of this core are:<\/p><ul><li>To increase the number of Hispanic physicians, scientists, and physician scientists engaged in research in cancer, cancer health disparities, and infection-driven malignancies.<\/li><li>To create and implement a dual-degree MD\/MPH track, emphasizing research on the study of infection-driven malignancies among Hispanic populations in Puerto Rico and across the US.<\/li><li>To design and implement an expanded curriculum, informed by community perspectives, with infection-driven malignancies and their impact on the health disparities of cancers incorporated into educational programs for learners at all levels.<\/li><li>To implement new Cancer Research Education didactic and research experiences targeted to students interested or already involved in healthcare.<\/li><\/ul><p>The REC is led by <a href=\"https:\/\/uprmdacc.upr.edu\/index.php\/team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ilka C.
