"The Carlson experience has been instrumental in launching my career at Boston Scientific, one of the world's leading medical device companies. My journey was shaped by two pivotal experiences: my internship and my capstone project at Boston Scientific. I gained hands-on experience in medical device supply chain operations during my internship. At the same time, my capstone project focused on improving service levels for capital equipment spare parts—a critical aspect of healthcare delivery."
