Katherine Reitz

Katherine, MD MSc has completed her General Surgery Residency and is a Vascular Surgery Fellow at UPMC. During her surgical training, she completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship, funded by the NIH NHLBI, where she worked to bridge the research interests of the Critical Care Medicine and Surgery departments. In this setting, she focused on the risk of limb threat as well as amputation and more recently focused on the importance of timely source control for community sepsis. Their collaborative research team plans to continue this important work, as such outcomes are so very important to patients.
