Cameron Chiarot

Cameron is a doctoral student in the School of Public Health Sciences at the University of Waterloo. Cameron received his Master of Business Administration degree from York University’s Schulich School of Business, an Honors Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Western Ontario and holds a certificate in Healthcare Executive Leadership from the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management.

Prior to joining Professor Butt’s research program, Cameron has held numerous leadership positions at several of Canada’s largest hospitals and research organizations, including the Health Sciences Centre Winnipeg, Hotchkiss Brain Institute, and the University Health Network. In each of his roles, Cameron has maintained his passion for health research and has published several peer-reviewed manuscripts in high-impact scientific journals and he has presented his research and innovations at international conferences.

Global health systems continue to be on the quest of pushing the quality of life and life-expectancy envelope, but at the expense of three socio-economic factors: cost, environment and equity. Taking a health economics approach, Cameron’s research aims to better understand the relationship of syndemics in the context of these socio-economic factors and how these factors have led to the widening of disparities and disequilibrium in global health systems.
