MVCTC Dental
Students Become Ohio Certified Dental Assistants
Clayton, Ohio -- In recent years the Ohio Certification for Dental
Assistants has allowed students in the second year of a training
program to attempt the exam if their instructor is certified. The
students prepare during the two years and in October take a
practice/mock test.
Industry personnel come to the school and administer a clinical test
during which the students are scored and also receive constructive
feedback. This finalizes their preparation for the clinical and
radiology sections of the test. They review a study guide to
prepare for the written portion of the exam which includes around four
hundred questions.
If they pass all three sections of the exam they become a Certified
Ohio Dental Assistant (CODA). This credential also puts them on
the "short path" to receiving their radiology license as well as other
benefits.
The following MVCTC students passed all three sections at the October
exam:
Curtis Wilson CODA, Arcanum
Mikayla Stewart CODA, Twin Valley South
Morganne Hammaker CODA, Tri-County North
Other students in the MVCTC senior Dental Assistant program are
registered for the May CODA exam.
Cheryl Johnson, MVCTC Dental Assistant instructor shared, “We are very
proud and happy with the success of the students as they attempted an
advanced test, and did so well. Gaining this credential will help them
prove their competency, gain their radiography license, and fulfill a
prerequisite that is required of the EFDA (advanced dental assisting)
program at higher education institutions.”
A student in the MVCTC Dental Assistant Program will learn highly
skilled training such as Anatomy & Physiology, laboratory skills,
radiology, and office technology for an in-demand career field. This
program allows students to earn college credit and the potential to
receive a Tech Prep scholarship to Sinclair Community College worth
thousands of dollars. For more information about the MVCTC Dental
