On October 9, 2023 MS in Health Technology students participated the MS-HT Speaker Series:
Career Speed Dating virtual event with industry professionals.
During this event, students connected with advisory board members and industry partners. These
professionals shared their individual experiences and expertise in the area of Human Factors. They then
answered student questions about starting professional careers in the field. The professionals also
offered suggestions to students about how to make and strengthen connections in the field.
The “speed dating” aspect for this event allowed students to have individual conversations with two
different professionals before the event concluded. In additional to all students in the MS in Health Tech
program, participating professionals included Paul Cassidy, Medtronic; Erice Boyle, AARP; Julian Cheng,
Gen 1 Capital; Christopher Khoury, AMA; John Vozenilek, Jump Trading Simulation and Education
Center, OSF; Taylor Craig, Carle Foundation Hospital; and Richard Sit, ICU Medical.
The next MS-HT Speaker Series will be held in spring 2024.
