After vet school, Dr. Cameron completed a rotating internship at Equine Medical Center of Ocala in Florida followed by a fellowship in equine surgery and medicine at Oregon State University. She completed a residency at the University of Pennsylvania, New Bolton Center in large animal surgery. Her training spanned from fracture repair secondary to trauma or athletic injuries, lameness, upper airway surgery to emergency abdominal surgery in all large animal species. Her specific interests and research in her residency focused on regenerative medicine, specifically mesenchymal stem cells and their role in immunomodulation in osteoarthritis. Following her residency, she was the emergency surgeon at Washington State University and later at a private practice in Colorado. She has presented at many veterinary outreach and continuing education conferences such as; ACVS annual conference, WSU Spring Conference, Horse Course, and Pacific Northwest Veterinary Conference.
