Brighid Moran O'Donnell, MD
- Assistant Professor of Pediatrics
- Advisory Dean, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine
- Director of Medical Affairs, The Children's Home of Pittsburgh
O'Donnell's primary academic focus includes teaching and mentoring both undergraduates and medical students. She developed the curriculum and directed a Pediatric Bench to Bedside course, an undergraduate Honors College seminar course which provided students with the necessary skills to interrogate clinical cases, discover the scientific process, and understand the structure of academic research. O’Donnell is active in the School of Medicine, most notably she is a member of both the Curriculum and Admission Committees. She directs the Pediatric Bootcamp course for graduating fourth year medical students. O'Donnell also serves as a mentor to first year medical students as a FAST advisor (Faculty and Students Together) in the Office of Student Affairs. She is currently working on strategies to improve medical student wellness.
