Bart Borsky on getting good career advice

The University of Pittsburgh was home to the largest liver transplant program in the world at the time, due in large part to the leadership of Dr. Thomas Starzl, the great pioneer in that field. During my residency in anesthesia, I did additional training in liver transplant anesthesia, taking advice from Dr. John Sassano, who told me that if I wanted to be successful, I needed to figure out what people in my field didn't like to do, learn to love it, and make myself available.
