Tips for MBA Success
I recently completed my MBA at the University of Colorado - Boulder and have been looking back at my notes from the effort. While the courses have decidedly improved my knowledge base, perhaps the most important lessons occurred supplementary to the classroom.

Even though I did my degree in the UK, out of the 91 students, 27 different countries were represented, and only 11 were native english speakers (of which I was only 1 of 3 Americans). Groups were set up to have 1 native english speaker (if possible), 3 students from India (roughly 1/2 the course was from there), and then to fill in the rest with different nationalities and work backgrounds. Definitely brought some unique challenges.
The biggest thing I took away from the MBA though (as well as the other students) was developing a strategic perspective. I know I definitely view the world in a different light, breaking down and handling things better than I did before. It might sound simple from an outsiders perspective, but to be able to understand why certain things happen, and developing effective action plans forward, is probably the greatest tool gained by the MBA process.

Hey Dan,
I work at Cardiocom, which is a telehealth company. We make a system which measures biometric data (BP, weight, O2sat, glucose) and reports symptoms, and then transmits to a server so the data can be viewed by clinicians and home health agency nursing staff. I'm involved in research and development, with a focus on the regulatory aspects. Making sure the design complies with all relevant regulatory requirements.
Regards,
Kara

The health care bill has definitely helped increase the interest in telehealth. Some of our customers are health care plans and hospitals. With the new health care bill, hospitals will be penalized for readmissions that occur within a certain amount of time following discharge. If upon discharge, the patient is sent home with one of our devices which monitors vitals, then the care staff can intervene before a problem occurs which would require readmission to the hospital. Customers have been performing their own trials and analyses demonstrating the great financial savings that result. Also, there is much better recovery for the patients.
In what specialty within the medical device industry to you work?

Hi Everyone,
Out of curiosity, what is your experience/interest with medical devices?
As for me, I work on new product development for electro-surgical instruments. I am finishing my MBA and plan to transition into a business development or marketing roll (if anyone has thoughts or suggestions on this, I would greatly appreciate them!)
Cheers,
Dan
