Surgical Resident Graduate Elizabeth Thomas, DO

“As a fellowship trained abdominal transplant surgeon at the UT Health Department of Surgery, I had the great opportunity to participate not only in patient care, but also in academic research and institutional education. The mentorship and guidance we receive will always be essential to our craft. I for one have benefited from the generous lessons by this team.  In my current position as the Surgical Director of the Living Donor Kidney Transplant Program, I plan on paying tribute to my teachers by practicing medicine with the highest standards and to offer the gift of teaching to others.”
