Biosketch: Dr. Cannon graduated from the US Air Force Academy in 1994 and undertook his medical school education in Boston, MA at Harvard Medical School. From there, he matched in General Surgery at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in General Surgery. As a mid-level surgical resident, Dr. Cannon pursued his interest in applied technologies as a research fellow at Children's Hospital Boston where he developed an animal model for off-pump image-guided ASD creation and closure while fulfilling the requirements for a Master of Science degree in Course 2 (Mechanical Engineering) at MIT. Dr. Cannon then completed his training in General Surgery followed by subspecialty training in Surgical Critical Care at Children's Hospital Boston. He joined the faculty at Wilford Hall Medical Center in 2006 and is currently the Medical Director of the SICU at Wilford Hall and an Associate Program Director for the integrated General Surgery Residency at UTHSCSA and Wilford Hall.
