Dr. José Augusto M. Miguel

The interviewee for this issue of Ortho Science is Prof. José Augusto Mendes Miguel, a prominent national and international professional who we are proud to say is a product of Rio de Janeiro Orthodontics. I have known Prof. José Augusto for many years, since I was a student of Orthodontics in the early 1990s. However, we actually met during the 1999 competition for Professor of Orthodontics at UERJ. This meeting gave us an academic partnership and a very special friendship. Professor José Augusto was born and raised in Niterói, a city near Rio de Janeiro. He followed in the footsteps of his father, Dr. Jorge Miguel, one of the pioneers of orthodontics in Rio de Janeiro. Most of his professional training was carried out at UERJ, and his love for this school was so significant that he sought to remain there, contributing to the training of new professionals. His style is translated into the excellence of clinical and academic results, with a mixture of simplicity and boldness. He has a unique curiosity for the new, without forgetting the classical bases and the scientific foundation. Prof. José Augusto has an evident concern for the well being of others, be they patients or students. He goes beyond the technical, packing his work with sensibility, whimsy, and care. These characteristics have resulted in a teacher who spares no effort in learning to share with his students and colleagues, and who has definitely influenced us with an always generous and more patient-centered look. A reading that will certainly make us reflect on our important role beyond the orthodontic technique, demonstrating our responsibility to our fellow man, whether in the clinic or in teaching.
