Starting a career in Healthcare Technology Management can feel overwhelming, especially when you realize how much there is still to learn.

In this episode of HTM On The Line, host Bryant Hawkins Sr. sits down with Angie Lopez, an HTM professional working in Kelowna, British Columbia, to talk about what real growth in HTM actually looks like.

Angie shares her journey into the field, her first experience in the operating room, navigating a male-dominated industry, and why communication, humility, and asking for help matter just as much as technical skills. From handling pressure to building confidence early in your career, this conversation offers practical insight for students and new HTM professionals finding their footing.

If you’re early in your HTM journey, or still learning how to grow without having all the answers, this episode is for you.

HTM On The Line — where we talk about the people behind the equipment.
