Brandon Manor

Brandon Manor, MD, graduated from Morehouse College with a B.A. in Psychology. After college, he worked with Fund II Foundation’s internXL initiative, where he helped design its Ambassador Program and contributed to their Black maternal and mental health initiatives. He later spent two years as a post-baccalaureate research trainee at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse & Alcoholism (NIAAA), researching diagnostic tools to personalize treatment of alcohol use disorder. In 2021, Brandon matriculated at Howard University College of Medicine, where he served in multiple leadership roles, including Vice President of his class and Co-President of the Psychiatry Student Interest Group. His passion for psychiatry extends nationally, as he co-chaired the Residents, Fellows, and Medical Students Committee for the 2023 American Psychiatric Association Annual Meeting.

Brandon holds a deep passion for community service. As an undergraduate, he co-founded a nonprofit in Atlanta focused on mentorship for college students, which also leads an annual service project supporting the local unsheltered population. Clinically, his interests lie in child and adolescent psychiatry, addiction psychiatry, and the intersection of policy and medicine—particularly in addressing systemic inequities and infrastructural barriers that limit access to care for marginalized populations. His leadership and service have earned him multiple honors, most recently his induction into the Gold Humanism Honor Society. Outside of medicine, Brandon enjoys exploring new restaurants, collecting vinyl records, visiting amusement parks, and traveling to recharge.
