As an engineer/technologist, Herman has served as educator and ultimately as an advocate in developing and guiding the standards that make storing, archiving and sharing of medical images such a dynamic part of current day medical practice.
Over his 45 year career he has taught thousands of people who manage and maintain PACS systems and medical informatics. He campaigned for the establishment of the profession of PACS administrator by establishing PARCA to certify and advocate for professional recognition of the skills and expertise needed to manage medical imaging.
If you are interested in hearing about the fascinating history of PACS and the profession of managing them, a new SIIM podcast by Mohannad Hussein and Jason Nagels features an in-depth interview with Herman Oosterwijk.
The podcast is available on the Libsyn podcast library or through Apple or Android podcasts.
