PRESENTER: James S. Campbell
Dr. Jim Campbell was born in Abilene, Texas in 1944. He was raised in Chicago and Albany, NY, where he graduated from The Albany Academy in 1962.
He was interested in electronics from an early age, and he held an amateur license WA2MFD as well as a First Class Radiotelephone License.
He went on the
Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA, where he earned his Batchelor of Electrical Engineering in 1966, and then entered The Albany Medical College at the
urging of his father, an Orthopedic Surgeon. He was especially interested in Neurosurgery, and he worked in the Neurosurgery laboratory and attended
classes at the Queen Square Neurological Institute in London, England. He graduated as a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) in 1970 and completed an Internship in
Surgery at the University of Washington in Seattle. His pursuit of Neurosurgery suddenly ended when his mentor died in a skiing accident, and he went on
to practice General Medicine in the mountains of North Carolina, where he founded The Mountain People's Clinic in Hayesville.
He never abandoned his love for electronics, however, and in 1986 he left the mountains to try his hand at biomedical engineering, working in Washington,
DC, Lebanon, NH, and the Winston-Salem area. He has developed florescence microscopy devices, clinical air and impedance plethysmographs, blood-pressure
devices, Doppler blood flow detectors, ultrasound imagers, and microprobe array sensor/stimulators to study deep brain activity. He practices clinical
medicine on a part-time basis and consults in medical engineering under his service mark, MEDesign.
Dr; Campbell has also developed his hobby of canoeing into a small business, eCanoe LLC, which manufactures and sells motors and accessories for small
boats such as canoes, Jon boats, and sailboats. His eCanoe entries have twice taken First Place in the annual Wye Island Electric Boat Marathon on
Chesapeake Bay.
He presently lives on the Yadkin River in Pfafftown, NC with his wife, Dianne, and their assorted pets and plants.
