PRESENTER: Justin Barbour 

TOPIC: To Be Announced

PRESENTER BIO:

2023 marks 20 years that I’ve been in this career field.
I specialize in audio / video integration systems and medical equipment IT. I’ve branched off and studied analog and digital XRay, CT, UltraSound and CR Readers but I always seem to migrate back to operating rooms. Most Biomeds prefer to avoid the OR at all cost because of the work tempo, odd hours and stress.
I love it. Outside of work I continue advancing my skill set with metal work, wood work, surface mount PCB repair and stepper / servo motor controllers mixed with some PLC experimentation.
At this stage in my career I love teaching others and developing the next ring of Biomeds.
