Our Philosophy

We believe that teaching dental professionals in a real dental office allows students to have an introduction with real situations. We consistently update our course to stay ahead in healthcare and allow our students to train on state-of-the-art equipment.

Our History

The first program like this was established by Dr. Rich Erickson in 1987. It was the first program in the country to train dental professionals in the office and not a classroom. We still do this today and we feel it helps create better dental professionals.
