MVCTC Dental Students
Become Ohio Certified Dental Assistants
Englewood, Ohio – The Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC)
recently had 12 Dental Assistant students pass their Ohio Certified
Dental Assistant test. The two-year program at MVCTC prepares students
to take the test in October of their senior year of high school.
To prepare for the 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:
Ashlyn Allen (Preble-Shawnee)
Bayley Boston (Brookville)
Makena Brinley (National Trail)
Madeline Durham (Eaton)
Alexis Eakes (Tri-County North)
Alivia Falldorf (Eaton)
Lauren Lee (Brookville)
Aleesha Mestemaker (Ansonia)
Haley Robinson (Arcanum)
Taylor Tucker (Tri-County North)
Bailey Williams (Northridge)
Aubrey Zunk-Sullivan (Miamisburg)
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
