Dr. Salcedo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Gynecologic Oncology & Reproductive Medicine and Director of Cervical Cancer Prevention in Global Oncology, Cancer Network at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, United States. She directs training & education in cervical cancer prevention for programs in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, Texas, and other low-resource settings, where she has also led Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) sessions. She is a gynecologist with several years of experience conducting research on cervical cancer prevention. Dr. Salcedo has served in Brazil as an Associate Professor and Director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Federal University of Health Sciences of Porto Alegre (UFCSPA), where she was the Chair of Gynecology at Santa Casa de Misericordia Hospital of Porto Alegre. She also dedicates her time as an international mentor for Mozambique's IGCS Global Gynecologic Oncology Fellowship Program site.

She partners with Dr. Ida Ismail-Pratt to lead the development of the IGCS Preinvasive Disease Training Program, and she also serves as co-chair of the international mentorship and training initiative. The program was born following recognition of the lack of systematic training and support in preinvasive cervical disease for local low- and middle-income country champions, who were fellows and local supervisors in the IGCS Global Gynecologic Oncology Fellowship Program. The IGCS Preinvasive Disease Training Program supports local clinicians. It establishes mentors to build local capacity in managing preinvasive cervical disease effectively, thereby advancing the path toward cervical cancer elimination.
