History
OC Dental Academy started as a solution to a few existing problems. In 2004, people who wanted to become a dental assistant had a couple of timely and costly options. How can we train Dental Assistants in a short amount of time? How can we get students into the workforce faster, with the skills they need? How can we make it affordable for them, with no school loans? Being an RDA since 1976, Konni Forster, owner, knew what skills it took to get a job and start being a valuable member of a dental team. The concept of Saturday classes, affordable tuition, 10 week programs, was based on a proven concept by a dentist in Texas. A visit to Texas was next. Jumping into the opportunity, it was discovered that there was plenty of time to develop the skills needed. Since then a internship program was added to the program to give it even more hands-on experience. OC Dental Academy is now expanding to Southern Oregon with this business model and serving the need there.
