Cameron Clarke
Student, Writer, and Health Educator in Oxford, United Kingdom
Hi, my name is Cameron. I'm a Howard University alum, a Rhodes Scholar, aspiring physician and health advocate, and a graduate student at Oxford University.
At Howard, I studied community health education and biology, and conducted health disparity research at the Columbia School of Public Health and Howard University Hospital. I've alsoconducted cancer research as an Amgen Scholar at the National Institutes of Health, and clinical research at Children's National Hospital in Washington, DC.
I have taught sexual health and drug workshops for high school students throughout DC as the coordinator of Howard’s chapter of Peer Health Exchange, and have sent students to work with an HIV/AIDS public health initiative in Malawi as the president of GlobeMed at Howard University.
I have worked on Capitol Hill as an intern for the U.S. House of Representatives Science Committee (focusing on environmental health), and on health, education, and civil rights issues as an intern in the office of Senator Cory Booker.
This past year, I served as the Health & Wellness Liaison for the DC Superintendent of Education, and as ahealth equity fellow with the Baltimore Health Department.
Right now, I am headed to Oxford University in the U.K., where I will pursue masters degrees in social policy evaluation and public policy, before heading to medical school.
I believe that health, education, and responsible public policy can be engines that drive prosperity for all, and I hope to make advocating on behalf of health, education, and political reform the central focus of my career.
