After his second series of medical school rejections, biomedical engineer David Goodman found his way to a nascent medical device company seeking to develop an easy way to measure oxygen levels in the blood. The result – the Nellcor pulse oximeter – transformed medical care. It also earned David a coveted spot in the Health Science Technology (HST) program at Harvard Medical School and launched him on a storied career of healthcare entrepreneurship.

Join us as we talk with David about his journey, his influences, his companies, and hear how the son of a Westchester dentist – not named Zuckerberg – made a name for himself in Silicon Valley.
