Texas Tech Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, Texas
Cameron Miller is a second-year medical student at the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine, pursuing a Doctor of Medicine with a Distinction in Medical Research. His research focuses on the intersection of critical care, burn surgery, and health equity, with a particular emphasis on how social and geographic disparities influence outcomes in trauma and burn populations.
Cameron is the first author of “Burned by Inequity: How Social and Geographic Disparities Shape Burn Mortality,” which investigates socioeconomic deprivation and mortality among burn patients across Texas and New Mexico. This work contributes to growing evidence that social determinants of health critically affect survival in intensive care settings. He has also led and co-authored multiple studies exploring inhalation injury, comorbidity burden, tourniquet times in rural and underserved settings, and predictive modeling in burn mortality. His prior publications include a case report in BURNS Open examining emotion-focused therapy interventions in pediatric burn wound care. He is interested in a career in surgical critical care and is excited to learn more about this fascinating field.
Beyond research, Cameron co-founded the Lubbock Impact Free Burn and Wound Care Clinic, which provides no-cost care for underserved and homeless burn surgery patients. He currently serves as president of several student organizations, including the Global Surgery Student Alliance and the Urology Interest Group. Cameron especially enjoys spending time with his wife and two sons.
