The Dental Assistant 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
Participants must complete a pre-course checklist and review a study guide. The in-person course is offered over two days. The first day consists of lecture from 8 AM-5 PM, including learning activities and mini quizzes. Lunch is provided onsite.
On the second day, a one-hour proctored written exam will be taken from 9-10 AM. Students must complete all eight hours of the class and score at least 80% on the written exam to pass.
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.
For those needing accommodations, a room block is available at the DoubleTree by Hilton Edgewater or at the Hilton Garden Inn Missoula. We also have a room block on campus at Pantzer Hall. Registration for that will open soon.
