5:32 pm My new job as a project manager in the Department of Surgery puts me right where I want to be — on the front lines of efforts to transform medical care and save lives. As I step into this role, I am learning how to coordinate logistics for a national, multi-site research network that works to improve the outcomes of those experiencing severe blood loss and other traumatic injuries. This kind of mission represents the best of Pitt.
