California Dental Certifications

We are excited to have partnered with a learning institute specializing in web based dental practice management learning. The Dental Office Management Program is provided to dentists, dental staff, high school seniors and those interested in changing their careers. This is an online program allowing students to work with the learning institute instructors. Each course is self-paced. The student has the ability to log in whenever they want morning, noon or night for as long as they like. The institute keeps record of how often and where you log in from. This is invaluable information in order to keep the student on the right track and moving forward. Each unit has exercises and quizzes which are automatically sent to the instructor upon completion. At the end of the course a final exam will be given and upon passing certificates will be provided. Our purpose is not to grade you but to help you learn.

Course Objectives:
To develop communication and organizational skills and learn what it means to be a problem solver and a motivational team player. You will be provided the maximum information in the minimum amount of time, to enhance your employability and develop your critical thinking abilities. The on-line program makes education available anywhere at anytime.

Effective insurance and financial management is the backbone of any successful practice. Each year millions of dollars are lost because dental team members lack the knowledge and training necessary for correct claims filing and follow-up. In addition, excellent verbal skills must be mastered to cultivate the proper patient attitude towards their dental insurance, and thereby gain patient acceptance for the total fees incurred in treatment, regardless of any dental insurance benefits involved.

Course participants will have access to our qualified instructors and online dental forum, where any and all questions will be dealt with promptly and effectively as well as our weekly conference calls. We look forward to serving all your front office training needs!
