2024 AAHKS President, Dr. James "Hutch" Huddleston!
Device Nation sits down for a most inspiring conversation with Dr. James "Hutch" Huddleston, current President of AAHKS. We talk about his amazing career, his experiences lobbying on behalf of surgeons, IQR, the future of joint reconstruction, why AAHKS has been so successful, and so much more!!
We then pivot to Vernon, New Jersey to visit "Action Park." This waterpark during the 1980's was considered the most dangerous amusement attraction in the US, are there any teachable moments we can apply to our industry??
Lastly, what about offsite sterile processing for the ASC? I believe it be the future, as it's one of those rare services that brings value to every single stakeholder....especially reps. Device Nation visits the beta facility in Boca Raton, to give you a backstage glimpse of what's on the way!

Customer Reviews
Stellar
Love these interviews. Energizing information from thought leaders, industry veterans and physician/surgeon leaders. Thank you Kevin, great work!
Device rep recharge
Glad that I found this podcast. As a 20+ year veteran device rep, I enjoy “recharging” with your conversations and industry history lessons.
Refreshing and Humbling
This podcast reminds us in this industry what got us where we are and what will help us move forward. The interviews are insightful and you can hear Kevin’s enthusiasm for the discussions. I always pick up some new (or old) information/motivation to take with me for the day/week. Love it and look forward to more!
