Cameron then decided the best way to serve his community, was in the community. He began working towards his chosen field of family medicine/general practice and completed his training in 2022 becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of General Practitioners (FRNZCGP).

Cameron fell in love with the charm of Tauranga, and ended up getting married to his wife (Dr Megan Hughes – also a GP here at 5th Avenue) in the hills of Ohauiti.
