MedTech I.Q.

The Cutting Edge of Medical Technology Content, Community & Collaboration

CIMIT Innovation Congress 2009 ... 27-28 October ... 5 Confirmed Keynotes ...

Colleagues,

The CIMIT (Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology) Innovation Congress is the premier event catalyzing innovations in medical device technology. It's the only place where academia, government, industry, and the military convene to learn and network with national leaders who are shaping tomorrow's healthcare solutions.

CIMIT is a non-profit consortium of connecting the problem-rich environment of Boston teaching hospitals with the solution-rich milieu of the mainly Cambridge based engineering schools. They are leaders in consciously fostering boundary spanning, interdisciplinary collaboration among a network of world-class experts in medicine, science and engineering, in concert with industry and government, to rapidly improve patient care.

CIMIT is the "Triple Helix" - Academic, Industry, Government - science and technology home of a number of eminent MedTech-IQ members, including: Sue Whitehead, Ryan Bardsley, Kirby Vosburgh, Colleen, Fred Chen, Andrew, Julian Goldman, Jeffrey Gelfand, Ronald Newbower, Michael Young, Ron Dixon, Elaine Richardson and , sometimes, Jonathan Rosen!

Please give strong consideration to attending this important event. You will not regret it.
