He has a Master of Science degree from the Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium and a Doctorate (PhD) in Healthcare Higher Education from King's College London, United Kingdom. Jorge teaches health sciences education, with a focus on dental education and clinical teaching. He is particularly involved in enhancing educational methodologies for health professionals. His expertise covers a range of areas, including curriculum development, student assessment, and the integration of advanced technologies like 3D modeling and virtual reality into clinical training. He teaches and directs programs that aim to improve both preclinical and clinical education, helping students and educators transition from theoretical knowledge to practical, hands-on experiences in healthcare. His primary research focuses on healthcare education, specifically teaching methods, learning assessment, and dental curriculum development. He led a Fondecyt-funded project (#11150123) to enhance dental education through the Curricular Alignment Model. Currently, he is working on a new Fondecyt project (#1200547) to improve dental students' transition from simulation to real clinical practice. This involves deliberate practice protocols, virtual and augmented reality, and 3D-printed dental models for training.
