Dr. Burton worked as an instructor of autistic children in the Psychology Department of the State University of New York at Binghamton from 1978-1979.
Dr. Burton was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in May 2010. He has undergone chemotherapy, total body radiation therapy, and then a stem cell transplant in October 2010. He has been in remission since July 2010. He resumed practicing medicine in February 2012.
Dr. Burton has a unique perspective on cancer survivorship from both a patient and physician perspective. During his cancer treatment and recovery, Dr. Burton saw the need for improved primary care for all cancer survivors. As a result, The Primary Care Cancer Survivorship Program (PCCSP) was born.
