CDA program marks 50 years! with another annual patient care clinic May 12 - June 2
Okanagan College's Certified Dental Assistant (CDA) program has been running since 1973 and this year marks 50 years of graduating students. The program is hosting a small classroom celebration for this years graduating students on May 11th in room HS301 of the Health Sciences Building 11 a.m.-noon.
From May 12-June 2, the CDA students will be treating patients for their annual patient care clinic. The patient clinic is a program requirement for students prior to graduation, and also provides the community with access to preventive oral health services at a very low cost. Local dentists and Hygienists volunteer their time to support the students and program with over 250 patients seen annually each May.
