Internationally trained dental hygienists can prepare to take the Level II Dental Assisting licensing exam by completing the second term courses in the Level II Dental Assisting Program at MTI.
During the course of your studies you will have the opportunity to acquire the standards of practice for dental assistants in Canada, to improve your oral and written English skills in relation to being a dental assistant, and to review dental terminology, dental assistant theory and dental assistant clinical skills in an English based setting. Knowledge and clinical skills, together, contribute to the professional roles as part of a dental health team.
The approach of this program is based upon the realities of today’s dental practices. Classroom and clinic time cover the competency-based skills necessary to be successful on the licensing exams. Your clinical practice sessions will take place at MTI’s Dental Clinical Site. You will be schooled in the expectations of chair-side assisting duties, radiography, and basic hygiene care. The outcome is a level of training that attests to the quality of care expected by dentists and patients alike.
Upon successful completion of the term II courses, you will receive a transcript of the courses taken in term II. It is the students’ responsibility to ensure that they are eligible to write the licensing exams for Dental Assistants, and to become a Certified Dental Assistant in B.C. Registration for the licensing exams and fees associated with the exams are the students’ responsibility.
Certified Dental Assistants have many career options – in addition to the dental practice. CDAs can find employment opportunities in public health, dental supply sales and marketing, and in dental education.
