In this episode of Careers On The Line, Joe Mullings and Maria Peters have returned from the MD&M West Conference in LA to share their thoughts and highlights from the show. Medtech start-ups continue to trend towards specialty and advanced tech development in order to meet the demands of niche markets (think sensors and data.) The Contract Manufacturing & Design industry has responded by evolving and becoming the backbone of medtech innovation. In addition, Joe and Maria share several great points to consider on why a career move into the Contract Manufacturing & Design space can help augment and accelerate your career trajectory in the medical device industry.
