My special guest today is Professor James Linton, who is the Professor and Program Coordinator of Biomedical Engineering at St. Clair College in Ontario, Canada.  

Who knew a chance encounter could lead to a fulfilling career? That's the incredible journey our guest, James, shares with us. He stumbled upon the Healthcare Technology Management industry, while browsing through university options and was instantly hooked. His career took him through various biomedical companies, a stint creating a Central Equipment Depot, and finally a rewarding role teaching the subject he loves at a college. 

James and I delve into the high-stress, high-stakes world of Biomed equipment technicians, whose vital work can mean the difference between life and death. While there's a surge in demand for their skills, particularly in the US and Canada, the current economic conditions present unique challenges for these HTM professionals. 

James encourages all Biomed technicians to reflect on the significant impact they have on people's lives as they navigate their career paths. His advice for younger professionals? Stay passionate, stay motivated, and remember that you're making a difference every single day. Tune in for a fascinating look into the world of an HTM Professional.
