## Summary

Peter Sebelius, founder and CEO of Medical Device HQ, joins Greenlight Guru host Jon Speer to discuss a new strategic partnership that integrates Medical Device HQ’s training courses into the Greenlight Guru Academy. Sebelius explains the pedagogical value of his blended learning approach, which combines self-paced online modules with formative assessments and live virtual sessions, arguing that understanding the 'why' behind FDA regulations is crucial for effective quality management. The conversation highlights how this model addresses the inefficiencies of traditional in-person training by offering global accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and environmental benefits, particularly accelerated by the pandemic.
