I completed Jefferson State’s fast track program for Dental Assisting. Many labs, many hours of studying, learning and asking questions to the instructor if I didn’t understand. I also have still been studying the books even though class is over and I’m currently waiting on my certification to come by mail. I am more than ready to get into an office and start learning hands-on, whether I am just answering phones or actually working chair side with a dentist. I feel completely confident and more than ready to get to work! After I get into an office, I would like to further my education by receiving the EFDA certification if allowed. As well as finish my Spanish classes and any other academic requirements that would add to my education.
