John Lemuel Cameron (born 1936) is an American surgeon. He is the Alfred Blalock Distinguished Service Professor of Surgery at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.
Cameron was born in 1936 in Howell, Michigan[1] to parents Duncan and Mary. When he was nine years old, his family moved to Detroit so his father could complete surgical training.[2] He obtained his undergraduate degree from Harvard University in 1958, and his medical degree from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in 1962.[3] After an internship in surgery at Johns Hopkins, Cameron served in the U.S. Army as a research surgeon at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research from 1963 to 1965. He then returned to Johns Hopkins to complete his surgical residency and fellowship.[1]
