Dr. Mary Brandt, pediatric surgeon and director of the Adolescent Bariatric Surgery Program and the Anorectal Malformation Clinic at Texas Children’s, has been elected to the Medical Student Education Committee of the American College of Surgeons, which addresses the educational needs in surgery for medical students during all four years of medical school.
Brandt is a dedicated educator and a recipient of numerous teaching awards. She cares for a wide variety of surgical problems in newborns and children. Although the majority of her practice, like all pediatric surgeons, is devoted to common problems such as appendicitis, reflux disease and hernias, she has specific expertise in bariatric surgery for morbidly obese adolescents, newborn surgical anomalies, anorectal malformations, Hirschsprung’s disease, biliary tract disease and thyroid surgery in children.
Brandt is also a professor of Surgery and senior associate dean for Student Affairs at Baylor College of Medicine.
