You may ask where is the healthcare professional in this scheme of things? The healthcare professional is the link, the bridge, and a conduit for end-user centered design for use in the real world. Surgeons are needed to help design and develop surgery robots. Technicians, nurses and doctors are needed to help design and develop imaging, diagnostic and analytical instruments. Some healthcare professionals may want to broaden their horizons through entrepreneurship or by becoming a venture capitalist. Whatever route is chosen, it is filled with opportunities.
