BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Numotion has appointed Tara Kersten, M.D., as chief medical officer. Kersten will provide Numotion with strategic clinical advice, support advocacy efforts and lend her expertise to outcomes studies. “We are excited to welcome Dr. Kersten at Numotion,” said Mike Swinford, CEO. “She is uniquely positioned to help the company become an ever-more-essential partner to our customers, physicians and referral partners, and we will greatly benefit from her clinical experience in the CRT industry.” In this new role, Kersten will also help to educate and interact with clinicians and referral sources and help to ensure Numotion’s interactions with clinicians, referrals, payers, regulators and government bodies are grounded in clinical research and expertise.
