The Dental Assistant Clinical Capstone course represents the culmination of a comprehensive dental assistant program, providing students with the opportunity to integrate and apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired throughout their training. This immersive simulated clinical experience is designed to prepare students for a successful transition into the professional world of dental assisting by allowing them to work closely with dental professionals in a real clinical setting. Case studies and simulated dental office scenarios reinforce the knowledge and skills acquired throughout the program and ensure that students are well-prepared to provide high-quality care and make a positive impact on the oral health of patients. A final comprehensive clinical competency assessment is performed to evaluate proficiency and provide remediation, if necessary.
