Pat Lynch, VP of the North Carolina Biomedical Association took some time to explain the conference highlights to DOTmed News at NCBA 2009.

In the video, Pat said some of the major challenges for 2010 include the limiting of education for biomeds and that "senior administration and hospitals [are] not understanding that education for biomedical and technical people is in fact an investment in the future, and is not just education for education's sake."
