The Fort Lauderdale Dental Assisant program is an 8-month day session or 12-month evening session. The Dental Assistant program consists of a 760-hour curriculum with a 250-hour clinical externship. Among the many skills taught in this program are dental X-ray, impressions, chairside assistance, basic computer skills, infection control and specialized dentistry.

"I will work hand-in-hand with the career services department," said Dr. Silvia Arroyo, Program Director for the Dental Assistant program. "The future of our program is dependent upon successful outcomes. My students will get the best education offered, and we will make every graduate marketable and employable."

The Department of Labor's Occupational Outlook Handbook shows a very bright future for Dental Assistants. Employment is expected to grow much faster than average for all occupations through the year 2010. In addition, numerous job opportunities will occur due to the need to replace those who transfer to other occupations, retire or leave the labor force for other reasons.

This program prepares students for entry-level employment as sonographers and is delivered via a progressive blend of on-line technologies, hands-on lab instruction and clinical training.

Start attending classes only one or two days per week – perfect for busy adults needing a flexible schedule. Graduates of the school’s programs can apply for the ARDMS registry examination immediately following graduation from the program.

The Ft. Lauderdale program will also provide extensive experience in performing various procedures on many types of diagnostic equipment, including EKG and phlebotomy training.

This comprehensive training program is also well-weighted with practical learning. In fact, about 50 percent of the time is spent working hands-on in the laboratory.

The Medical Assistant profession is projected to be one of the 10 fastest-growing occupations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The duties of a Medical Administrative Assistant are very important, varied and interesting. Whether in a physician’s office, a clinic or a hospital, the Medical Administrative Assistant performs many services on behalf of the physician. Having knowledge of the business of healthcare, plus training in computer applications and basic clinical skills, Medical Administrative Assistants will contribute to the smooth functioning of the modern healthcare facility.

Graduates of this program may find entry-level employment as Medical Administrative Assistants in medical or dental offices, health insurance companies, ambulatory care facilities, billing centers, or medical record facilities, as well as clinics and home health agencies.
