David Camacho PhD, MSW, MSG | Assistant Professor | UIC's College of Applied Health Sciences: Department of Disability and Human Development

Dr. David Camacho is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Disability and Human Development at the University of Illinois, Chicago. He earned his PhD in Social Work in Advanced Clinical Practice at Columbia University. His postdoctoral training is in Behavioral Geriatrics from the Weill Cornell Medicine Department of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine. Dr. Camacho’s research focuses on developing and testing strategies that enhance the prevention and management of prevalent and morbid conditions associated with aging (e.g., chronic pain, loneliness, cognitive impairment) among Latinx (Hispanic/Latino/e) and other minoritized older adults. His work has been supported by the Columbia Center for Interdisciplinary Research on Alzheimer’s Disease Disparities, Cornell’s Translational Research Institute on Pain in Later Life, and the National Institute on Aging. His research is informed by his extensive clinical practice as a bilingual (English/Spanish) and bicultural (Mexican and American) clinical social worker as well as his personal experiences as a caregiver.
