BIOGRAPHY

A highly qualified Medical Physicist with extensive years of experience in the medical field, including Senior Clinical Technologist, Senior Biomedical Technician, and Medical Physicist at different top London-based NHS teaching Hospitals.  While working with the NHS and previously, Toshiba Medical, Jean Michel travelled worldwide to attend different National and International Conferences and Trainings in the Medical field. During these trips, he sadly noticed challenges with Continuing Professional Development for Health Professionals in Africa and a lack of adequate medical infrastructure. As CEO of My Bridge International, he can see healthcare research is a rapidly growing field. New drugs and vaccines, new clinical procedures and techniques, and new equipment and technology are continually being introduced and therefore these advancements require physicians, nurses, engineers, and other healthcare workers to improve their knowledge and skills through continuing professional development (CPD) which will in turn improve, renew and update the skills and ability of medical professionals to ensure that appropriate and high-quality health services were being rendered to patients and save lives.
