This final on-site clinical course builds upon acquired skills and knowledge from Clinical Dental Assisting 1. Clinical Dental Assisting 2 provides an opportunity for the student to integrate previous and new theory with independent clinical practice in the dental clinic and laboratory settings at Vancouver Community College. The course focuses on the independent clinical role of the Certified Dental Assistant (CDA). Competencies are met through simulated manikin (SIM) peer practice (PR) and patient care (PC).
This course is part of the Dental Assisting - Certified (Distance Delivery) program.
