A subject I enjoy

Since I'm in second year of dentistry, I have a subject so important to be a dentist, and I enjoy it so much, this subject is Simulation. Here we simulate being a dentists with an artificial pacient, named "tipodonto". Simulation it's divided in two parts, a theoric part and a practice part. The theoric are all things, materials, instrumental, methodology that we must know to do in the practice part. For example, if I will put an amalgam in a teeth, before I have to know how to put the amalgam, what is it for, etc, all about the amalgam.

I enjoy doing all this things that we have to do, in fact, is one of the reasons why I'm studying dentistry.

Until now we have made and learned so much things, like Periodontics, that it is all about the gums, insertion tissues, bundle bone. I didn't like so much that, because is a little disgusting. Another thing that I learned and I liked is Operative, this consist in make cavities to take off the caries and cover it with differents materials, for example amalgam like in the previous example.

Really I like this subject because is exactly that I will do the rest of my life.

Someone I admire in my Field

One of the person that I admire is actually doing classes in dentistry in the Universidad de Chile, is one of my teachers in the diagnostic subject. He is Rodolfo Miralles, my favourite teacher and the person that I admire in my field.

I don't know exactly his age, but he is between 65-75 years old. He is teacher of human physiology and oral physiology. He studied dentistry and then he studied endodotics dentistry. Actually he doesn't practice the dentistry, because his passion is the physiology. For 27 years he has done classes of this subject in the university. He has uncovered a lot of things about the human and oral physiology, he has done a lot of papers recognized at world level. His work it has been very important to the science in the world.

Without the Dr. Rodolfo Miralles's investigations, we would not know how works a lot of things of our body. 

In 2009 he was recognized as the best teacher of undergraduate in the Universidad de Chile, in the anniversary number 167.

He is still doing classes and investigations actually and I think he will not stop until he is dead, because he loves his profession.
I admire to this person because he is in love of his profession, his passion is his profession and I hope, some day, be like him.
