Are you a Biomedical Engineer who Dreams of Having an Impact on Healthcare?

Many enter the biomedical engineering field, as I did, dreaming of having an impact on healthcare.  Yet, the path to impact is not always clear.   In this seminar I will share some of my stories as a biomedical engineering researcher and academic leader, and offer ideas, and hopefully a little inspiration, to heighten your ability to make more strategic decisions that accelerate your potential for impact.
