4Editor-In-Chief of Medical Product Outsourcing and Orthopedic Design & Technology
Currently the editor-in-chief of Medical Product Outsourcing and Orthopedic Design & Technology. Covering such an exciting and interesting, technologically advanced industry exposes me to fascinating and exciting developments in healthcare. While MPO and ODT actually cover the back end of the medical device industry (read by professionals at medical device OEMs), the component level technology that goes into the products are still on the cutting edge. As editor-in-chief, my goal is to facilitate the exchange of information between suppliers, OEMs, and consultants.
