As we gather this week with our family and friends to celebrate #IndependenceDay and what it means for our country and to each of us individually, I thought you might be interested in the most recent episode of the Medtech POV podcast. I sat down with MedTechVets President and Executive Director Steve Mapa—a veteran himself—to talk about the incredible work this organization is doing to support our veterans as they find meaningful careers in the medtech industry.   AdvaMed is proud to support MedTechVets, and here’s why: The support they give to the men and women who have served our country is working. The mentorship program, the networking and job search lessons, and the interview prep truly do lead to successful careers for veterans who participate. The numbers back that up: Steve said 95% of veterans who complete the program land a job in medtech—and 84% of them stay in those careers for the long term. Those are remarkable placement and retention rates. And the work doesn’t stop there—the organization is also looking to the future and finding new ways to give back to these servicemembers.   We owe our veterans a debt that can never truly be repaid. They are literally the reason we remain a free country, able to celebrate the 4th of July in peace, surrounded by family and friends. I am confident that the vision and tenacity of MedTechVets founder Michael Minogue and leaders like Steve will take the organization to new heights. We’re proud at AdvaMed to support them however we can.    I enjoyed this conversation on the podcast, and I hope you do too: https://lnkd.in/eWHr-SKB
