Rob S. Major: Surgical Technology Graduated: January 2008 Hometown: Crafton, PA Employer: UPMC Presbyterian Hospital Position: Surgical Technician I

Rob always knew he wanted to work in the medical field, and now he can’t believe he gets to scrub in on the large neurology cases performed by his hospital’s chairman of neuro-surgery. On a typical day, Rob organizes his operating room, setting up the back table and the instruments that the surgeon will use. During surgery he passes instruments to the surgeon and helps in any way he can. A highlight of this career for Rob is being able to really help patients and make a difference in their lives.
