Biographical history
Dr. R. Cameron Stewart was born in Montreal in 1885. He graduated in medicine at McGill University and gained high honours in his course. He took up pediatrics soon after entering practice and was appointed clinical assistant at the Royal Victoria Hospital under the late Dr. F. M. Fry. He remained a member of this department until his retirement in 1949, reaching the rank of Associate Pediatrician. Dr. Stewart belonged to the small group of physicians practicing internal medicine with a leaning towards pediatrics. His special interest was in infectious diseases, and he was on the staff of the Alexandra Hospital for Infectious Diseases for many years.
