“It is inspiring to be part of the Dental Assisting Trainee program. I’ve learned so much about dental assisting in a short period of time. My mentors have given me the patience and tools to fully understand the purpose of all that we do. I’m grateful for my teacher who has been so supportive and helpful to me throughout my journey.” Priscilla Crespo, Dental Assistant Trainee

“I’ve always had an interest in becoming a Dental Assistant but never had enough funds to do so. So far, we are in the middle of the program and even though it’s fast-paced, I feel like I’ve learned so many new things. The greatest thing to come out of this program is all the help I have received and new friends. Everybody is always so kind and lends a helping hand when I need it.” Cristina Miguel, Dental Assistant Trainee
