Physicians' Role in Medical Device Development

Just came across this lecture by Dr. Paul Yock of Stanford. In this particular clip, Dr. Yock discusses the role of clinical physicians in the development of new medical devices.  

Physicians can be active participants in the development of medical devices if they know how best to use their knowledge and skills. We'll be exploring this topic in depth on FreelanceMD...stay tuned!

I agree that innovation occurs where problem seekers (docs in the opinion of the speaker) meet problem solvers (mostly bioengineers when it comes to devices). However, I think docs contribute a lot more to the solution than Prof. Yock acknowledges.
