Career Day Presentation with Dr. Patel

Students were very excited to welcome a visitor into our classroom on Thursday.  Dr. Patel, a pediatric cranio-facial surgeon, came to speak to our students about his career.  

The students and I were equally intrigued with the topic of cranio-facial surgery.  The presentation was so interesting!  

We learned that Dr. Patel performs surgeries to correct facial and skull abnormalities.  He talked to the children about using a lot of math, science, and art in his work.  He has to create an anatomical sketch before performing a surgery.  You can tell that Dr. Patel is a very caring doctor in the way that he talked about helping his patients.  

Here is Dr. Patel, and his wife, Mrs. Patel.  Mrs. Patel also works with patients!  She is a nurse.   

 

We really enjoyed our learning with Dr. Patel, and we were glad to hear that he really enjoyed it too!

Thank you, Dr. and Mrs. Patel for visiting with us and sharing your expertise!
