Research

Dr. Cameron's research interests are in comparative epilepsy. She enjoys being able to be part of basic science, as well as clinical research, and bridging the two components together to improve our knowledge and understanding of epilepsy in veterinary medicine, as well as to improve the quality of life for our patients.  

Responsibilities

As a Clinical Assistant Professor in Small Animal Neurology, Dr. Cameron plays a primary role of supervising 4th year veterinary students, interns, and residents while on clinical duty. Dr. Cameron also lectures clinical neurology to the preclinical veterinary students. 

Clinical Interests

All aspects of veterinary neurology and neurosurgery, particulary: seizure management, intracranial disease, and spinal surgery.
