The Art of Empathy in Dentistry: In and Out of the Chair
Esteban G.
Senior Instructor, Dental Assistant with Expanded Functions Program, UMA Clearwater Campus
I love teaching at UMA because I was drawn to its vision of training healthcare professionals with a collective vision and social judgment. What sets UMA apart for me are the values we emphasize — humility, collaboration, empathy, and humanitarianism — which I believe are essential in healthcare education. I bring passion to every demonstration, involving my students directly and encouraging them to participate as assistants, which sparks their curiosity and commitment to learning. I also appreciate how UMA blends analog and digital technologies in dentistry, helping students build a strong foundation to better understand modern advancements.
