Course Preview | Medical Technology Program for Global Leaders from MIT xPRO

I'm Professor Michael Cima. I have the privilege of serving as the faculty director for this program. I've witnessed first hand the transformative power of innovation in the medical technology sector. Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I've been at MIT for going on 38 years now as a faculty member. And but during that time I've concentrated on translating ideas at MIT to real products. So, I've started several medical device companies and several pharmaceutical companies and that allows me to have the kind of perspective that many of you have that what really understand the way it what it takes to translate ideas into real products. And this program is uniquely designed for senior leaders like yourself in the medtech industry. That includes executives, engineers, physicians, and innovators who are at the forefront of driving change. As you well know, medtech is an industry that is not only complex, but it's also rapidly evolved. Throughout this program, you'll engage with cutting edge perspectives on technology development, leadership principles, and consumer vetting techniques. As leaders, your role is to drive innovation, ensure that your products improve patient outcomes and efficiently provide medical services, as well as shape the future of healthcare. This program is your opportunity to define your leadership skills, embrace the latest and technological trends, and ultimately lead your organizations to new heights. I look forward to guiding you through this journey and seeing the impact you'll have and undoubtedly make in this ever evolving field.
