Pre-RSNA Service Webinar

Service has come to the forefront of the medical equipment landscape. That's why DOTmed is hosting a webinar Nov. 18 called "The Evolution of Equipment Service: How to Navigate Through Tough Financial Times."

We'll present results of an in-depth study of the market forces that are shaping the equipment service industry today. We expect this webinar to be of particular interest to financial people, in-house service personnel, front-line department heads, as well as the OEMs and independents.

Join us for this free, informative and interactive session.
