Patricia Torres Manzanilla, APTD
ABOUT ME

Dentist with 27 years of experience in various aspects of the profession. Passionate about technology applied to dentistry, always looking for better ways to improve the patient experience and predictability of treatment using technology. Currently on the business side of the profession and very happy to be able to marry both worlds, clinical and corporate.

I have 7 years of experience as an instructional designer and 4 years as a trainer for an intraoral scanner device, called iTero Element, that not only captures the geography of the oral cavity, but also has tools that support oral education for patients to make more informed treatment decisions.

In these seven years of development in the field of talent development, I have been able to develop educational programs, educational videos, coordinate localization (translation + market specifics), and learn about asynchronous teaching methods and MOOCs.

I think it is important that professionals in a specific business domain have training and facilitation skills, because in order to evaluate the effectiveness and relevance of the programs, it is important to have SMEs with studies in adult education, so that they do not hinder the validation process. On the contrary, their experience can further enrich the experiences.
