Biography

Dr. Brannon completed a fellowship in neonatal-perinatal medicine (neonatology) at Southwestern in 1994, and worked in private practice at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas for the next 14 years. In 1996 he implemented a computerized clinical information system for the Baylor Neonatal ICU, an early-generation EMR and the first of its kind in the Dallas area. He holds a Master of Science degree in Health Informatics from the UT Health Science Center at Houston, and is Board-Certified in Pediatrics, Neonatology, and Clinical Informatics.

In 2016-2017 he worked in Ohio as Medical Director for Inpatient Informatics at the Cleveland Clinic, before returning to Southwestern in 2018.
