Pilar Camargo-Plazas, RN, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the School of Nursing, Queen’s University.

By focusing on health equity, her research program aims not only to identify research needs but also to develop strategies for sustainable change and action that promote equity in nursing practices for these groups.
