Is education just what the doctor ordered?
That seems to be the case for Dr. Tim Gardner, D.D.S. of Montgomery County
Dental Assisting School (MCDAS).
Dr. Gardner
opened MCDAS in 2013 after becoming frustrated with technical schools offering
dental assisting programs. He learned that students were paying about $6,000
for tuition and upon completion of the program had little to no clinical skills
or experience.
MCDAS’s unique approach goes
beyond book work, unlike the technical schools, and dives into
clinical participation in an operating dental practice. This one-of-a-kind
learning experience equips students with valuable skills and information they
need to make
an immediate difference in the dental field.
For the first
time, the program is offering two full scholarships. Those who are interested
are asked to write a short essay detailing what interests them about dentistry
and why they would be a good fit in a dental practice. Submissions will be
accepted via email at mocodentalassisting@gmail.com
until Friday, January 18, 2019.
Montgomery
County Dental Assisting School’s mission is to properly train and educate
students in the art of dental assisting. Students can expect to receive personalized
teaching in a small class setting, hands-on experience with state-of-the-art
equipment and understanding of dental terminology. With the added
flexibility of classes held on Saturdays for just 10 weeks, many have the
opportunity to continue working while training for a new career.
