The Dental Radiography Certification Course is an overview of the basic principles of radiology as it applies to dental auxiliaries, including but not limited to:
- Purpose and Technique
- Radiation Safety
- Infection Prevention and Control
This course is offered over two days. The first day consists of an 8-hour lecture, including learning activities and mini quizzes.
On the second day, a one-hour proctored written exam will be taken. Students must complete all eight hours of the class and score at least 80% on the written exam. They must also complete a pre-course checklist and review a study guide.
Upon successful completion of the course, the dental auxiliary will receive a Radiology Proficiency Certificate from Salish Kootenai College. This certificate will legally qualify the individual to expose X-rays in the State of Montana.
Registration is $200, including lunch on Day One.
