Description of Research Expertise

Cameron focuses on innovation within medicine, whether through the lens of medical devices, educational developments, or integrating point of care ultrasonography into clinical practice. This intersection developed as a result of his experience as a mechanical engineer, a clinician in the resource limited setting, and his exposure to epidemiology and studies of cost effectiveness.
