It’s typically quite hectic I end up seeing between 40-50 patients a day so there’s not a whole lot of down time. ![]() My day involves very little sitting in this chair and a lot of running around between chairs. After I see each patient at each chair I dictate to my technicians something to do, then they’ll do it and I’ll come back and check everything. I have 4 or 5 people in the chairs at one time and I’m doing different things at each chair. ![]() So my assistants will direct me to where I’m needed. In the first chair I have new patients getting braces, the second chair I’ll have all impressions, the third chair I’ll have wire changes, the fourth chair I’ll have retainer checks, insertions and Invisalign checks and the fifth chair is kind of like an overflow. I create my schedule- I do what’s called a “block schedule” for my patients so I work out of five chairs at a time. Interviewee: A typical workday involves a little bit of everything for me. Interviewer: Describe a typical work day as an orthodontist. It just seemed to fit my personality ideally. It’s a relatively clean profession- not a lot of blood. And, the lifestyle is nice! Not a lot of emergencies. Every patient is different and I liked the fact that it was kind of like solving a puzzle for each individual patient. It’s a very cerebral profession that involves a lot of problem solving, creating the correct diagnosis and outlining a treatment plan. In dental school, I spent a lot of time with different professors and attending doctors outside of the classroom and I found the profession of orthodontics to be the most interesting. I’ve never had orthodontic treatment myself. I knew my whole life, oddly enough I wanted to be a dentist, probably since I was 5 or 6 years old but I didn’t know much about Orthodontics until Dental school. Interviewee: I think I decided I wanted to be an orthodontist in my third year of dental school. Interviewer: When did you fi rst decide to become an orthodontist and why? Happy to be helping out the Howard University Dental Students today. My name is Andrew Schwartz, I’m an Orthodontist here in Washington DC and I have an office in Rockville, Maryland as well. ![]() Andrew SchwartzĪffiliation with interviewee: Personal Orthodontist patents.Interview Setting: Capitol Orthodontics- Office of Dr. Schwartz has co-authored over 30 technical papers and holds seven U.S. His research focused on the electrodynamic response of various materials, including high temperature superconductors, low-dimensional conductors, and colossal magnetoresistive oxides. in physics from the University of California Los Angeles. in physics from Amherst College and an M.S. In this role he was actively involved in project planning, strategic planning, budgeting, project execution, and business development.ĭr. Schwartz spent seven years in industry leading a multi-disciplinary scientific and engineering team in the research and development of a new technology for semiconductor metrology. Schwartz also represents DOE on the OSTP Subcommittees for the Materials Genome Initiative and for Microelectronics Leadership. Schwartz has coordinated all NNI-related activities for DOE, interfacing with personnel in other DOE offices, as well as with personnel at the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO), the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), and the other federal agencies involved in the NNI. Since 2009 he has represented DOE on the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) subcommittee, the interagency group charged with coordination of federal government activities related to the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), and since 2019 he has served as one of two agency co-chairs of NSET. He served on the committee that developed and executed the inaugural DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program solicitation and award process in 2010. Schwartz has represented BES in various other capacities. In addition to program management duties, Dr. Schwartz was Program Manager for the BES Experimental Condensed Matter Physics program, one of the largest core research areas in BES, supporting a diverse research portfolio with major emphasis on topics such as superconductivity, magnetism, spin physics, and low-dimensional systems. From 2013 to 2022 he served as Senior Technical Advisor for Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs), leading the team of BES Program Managers and support staff in management of the EFRC program. Andrew Schwartz has served as Division Director for Materials Sciences and Engineering since 2022, after serving as Acting Division Director since July 2020.
