eneral Meeting 5: Half Way Between Med School and Engineering
Wednesday, April 6th, 6-7PM
TCC 450
Join ASBME on Wednesday, April 6th, to listen to special guest speaker Anton Barnett! Originally a biomedical engineering in undergrad, his focus was on the design of artificial lungs, hearts and kidneys. With the initial intent to go to med school, he diverted from his plan to explore engineering applications in the medical operating room. Attend this event on Apr. 6th to him with talk about his journey, life decisions, and career advice that helped him find his current passion. As a perfusionist, he is able to work in the OR during cardiac surgery. He regularly employs his engineering knowledge to stop the heart during the procedure so the surgeon can preform the procedure. He has found it to be a rewarding solution for working in between engineering and medicine.
For anyone on the fence about medicine, on the fence about engineering, or you just want the best of both worlds, this is a fantastic opportunity for you to figure out what other options are available!
