Risio Institute for Digital Dental Education

At Risio, we believe in the power of fit. Our diploma program can be completed from anywhere in Canada, which means your next dental assistant might already be in your office. Here's what Dr Hammond, a dentist in Grande Prairie, AB had to say about Risio ⬇️ “I’m really pleased to be a part of your program. It’s simply brilliant. They get to earn while they learn and I get an outstanding dental assistant at the end that has had customized training in my office as to the way I like to do things. I have worked with many freshly minted dental assistants straight out of school and I can say without a doubt that this program produces great assistants that integrate very smoothly into the office. It opens a door of opportunity for people that just might not have that door available to them. This is especially true living in a more rural community. Calysta is the second student/staff member to be enrolled in your program. Both students I have known personally for years, and in Rolenne’s (finished term 1) circumstance, I had worked with her for years in the OR at the local hospital. She was out of gas and needed a change. This program couldn’t have been more perfect. When Rolenne returned from her practical training term 1, she was well prepared, confident, and enthusiastic. She learned a lot and is really loving her job. It’s been fun to watch the transition. I have great confidence that Calysta will be a star student and you guys will love having both of these people in your program moving forward. Risio is common sense training delivered in a common sense way, great job!” If you're looking for your next dental assistant, let's connect. 🦷 https://lnkd.in/gEFW7tez 📧 info@risiodental.com 📞 587-391-7843 #Dentist #RuralDentist #DentalAssistant #OnlineDiploma
