Jesus Ablaza Lizardo II, the Philippines

The past June has been my sixth month training here in Taiwan. I can definitely say that every day I learn something new from my teacher Dr. Z C Chen with regard to the important details of microtia surgery. It is only through daily operation that I am able to realize microtia surgery is a complicated procedure; besides, I have to constantly expose to note steps or techniques which are required to get the best results.
OPD (Outpatient Department) Clinic with Dr. Z C Chen continues to impart me the important details especially on how to thoroughly explain surgical options to the patients and their parents. Dr. Z C Chen takes time out to talk to his patients, which is an essential part of the patient-doctor relationship. It is also through OPD Clinic that I get to see the progress of patients through the year, the complication that goes with their operations and the things that can be done to improve them.
I have come to the halfway of my training and I believe I can continue to pick up and learn more things along the way. Hopefully, I could accomplish and finish research projects where we have started.
