The Pitt Timeline
This timeline of The Pitt will be updated with new information as people will hopefully correct me and add to this! Notes explaining general calculations (confirming season 1 is set in 2025, the birth year of characters, the general timeline I used for medical school to emergency medicine residency) are beneath the cut.
Date - Event
1948 - Montgomery Adamson is born (S1E01, plaque on memorial wall).
1992/1993 - Dana Evans begins working at the Emergency Department at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center (PTMC) (S1E08, ā32 yearsā).
1982/1983* - Cassie McKay is born (S1E01, ā42-year-old R2ā).
1995/1996 - Samira Mohan is born (on Twitter, Supriya Ganesh says the writers and her decided Mohan is 29 in season 1 [link]).
October/November 1998 - Trinity Santos is born (S1E06, she tells Yolanda Garcia her star sign is Scorpio; the first draft of the script for the first episode [link] says she is 26, so if the season is set in September, her birthday has not passed yet).
2004/2005 - Victoria Javadi is born (S1E01, āIām 20ā).
Before August 2005 - Michael Robinavitch completed his residency program at Big Charity Hospital in New Orleans, Louisiana (S1E09). While the timeline between then and his arrival at PTMC is unclear, the hospital closed following Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. Therefore, Robinavitch would have left the hospital in 2005 at the latest.
2007/2008 - Jake Malloy, Robinavitchās stepson, is born (S1E05, āIām 17ā).
2008/2009 - Mohanās dad dies when she is 13 (S1E05).
2013/2014 - Harrison Ashcroft, McKayās son, is born (S1E02, āheās 11 nowā).
March/April 2016 - McKay gets sober (S1E05, ā9 years, 5 months, and 11 daysā).
2017/2018 - Javadi attends college and later medical school at the University of Pittsburgh (S1E10, āgo to college at 13ā).
2020/2021 - Tanner Langdon, Frank Langdonās son, is born (S1E02, āfour-year-oldā).
Before September 2020 - In a flashback set when Adamsonās health was declining because of COVID-19 in 2020, Mohan is pictured in a photo at his bedside (S1E07, Robinavitch and Perlah Alawi are also pictured). This may be an error in using a picture of the cast, but if accurate, this implies Mohan attended medical school in Pittsburgh. At the latest that this photo could have been taken (at PTMC in early 2020), Mohan would have been in her first year of medical school.
September 2020 - Montgomery Adamson dies during the COVID-19 pandemic after 17 days on ECMO.
July 2021 - John Shen begins his first year of residency** (S1E12, āstill a resident three months agoā).
July 2022 - Heather Collins, Frank Langdon, and Parker Ellis begin their first year of the emergency medicine residency program at PTMC.
July 2023 - Mohan begins her first year of residency.
July 2024 - McKay begins her first year of residency.
July 2025 - Shen becomes an attending physician in emergency medicine. Collins, Langdon, and Ellis begin their fourth year of residency. Mohan begins her third year of residency. McKay begins her second year of residency.
August 2025 - Dennis Whitaker does an internal medicine rotation in PTMC (S1E15). He is in his fourth year of medical school. Javadi is in her third year of medical school at the University of Pittsburgh*** (S1E01).
September 2025 - This is when season 1 takes place (S1E06, Shelby Adamsonās thank you note says āfive short years agoā was Adamsonās death, which occurred in 2020). Melissa King begins her second year of residency after two months at a Veterans Affairs hospital (S1E01). Trinity Santos begins her internship at PTMC (S1E01).
July 2026 - Season 2 is set on the Fourth of July weekend, ten months after season 1.
Bear in mind that all the data in gray is just my headcanons either based on actors' ages or the script draft of the first episode + in those cases I'm usually assuming a character started med school at 20. But I hope this can help you estimate characters' ages matching your preferences :)
Also, because the first script was written before the casting, some of the data in purple might not be accurate, even if a specific age was given. So for example, the script states that Samira Mohan is 36, but the actress confirmed that they decided on her being 29.
+ all of this is made with an assumption that nobody took any breaks from med school to residency
++ Javadi says that she started college at 13 and I don't know what to do with that information so yeah.
