To work as a dental assistant, you must complete a 50-hour hands-on internship, which is now complemented by our hybrid online training program. This innovative approach combines practical experience with flexible online learning. At Pacific Northwest Dental Assisting School, you’ll complete your internship at our on-site, affiliated Camas dental practice, while also engaging in comprehensive online courses. You’ll work alongside a dentist and learn the practical skills needed for a fast-paced dental office, as well as access a wealth of online resources and support to deepen your understanding. Our experienced dental staff, including graduates of our dental assisting programs, will provide guidance both in-person and online. Unlike other dental assistant schools in Vancouver, Camas, and Portland, which may require you to search for your own internship, we guarantee you an internship at our practice. This, along with our hybrid online training, allows you to focus on your studies and skill development, ensuring you succeed and become a well-rounded dental assistant.
