What is you’re favourite pathology under the microscope?
For Amanda, it’s an ameloblastoma. So much so that she had mugs made up to use as Christmas presents! I think that is the perfect way to summarise her blend of passion, education and fun she brings to what she shares all over social media.
A spoonful of Oral Medicine is where she brings all this energy and education together to help share her passion with her colleagues and patients.
Oral medicine for many is not the most exciting topic. I don’t recall my favourite histological pattern or the microbiology of certain pathologies. But we can all agree it is a critical discipline that we perform every day, without even noticing it. The extra-oral and intra-oral exam can literally save your patients life. Good thing Amanda shares her process right her in the podcast!
