In this episode of the Global Medical Device Podcast, Jon Speer invites colleagues Aaron Lucas, Training and Education Manager, and Jesseca Lyons, Operations and Enablement Guru, to join the show and explain to listeners what Greenlight Guru Academy is and how the eLearning platform is helping users around the world advance their medical device careers.

Some highlights of this episode include:

Greenlight Guru Academy is a learning management system (LMS) path that allows medical device gurus, customers, and others to share knowledge and educational content and courses to encourage retention and effectiveness.
About six years ago, whenever a new customer would come on board with Greenlight Guru, it was a manual process. Fast forward to a few years later, Greenlight Guru Academy has made that process automatic and evergreen.
Feedback from some of the thousands of Greenlight Guru Academy users who have completed the various courses help gauge success and types of content.
Learner’s Mindset: I want to do the right thing. I want to make it better. I want to help someone, but it’s next to impossible to do. Demystify the medical device space, especially as the industry changes.
Greenlight Guru Academy is for anyone getting started to veterans wanting to hone their skills in the medical device industry. Expect to see a lot more audit and inspection courses and content. Also, expect basic regulatory learning.
