Dental Assistant Training Programs

Division of Indian Health

The Division of Indian Health is most cognizant of the need for

qualified auxiliary personnel to help meet the increasing demand

for dental services for the Alaska Natives and Indian beneficiaries.

All dental assistant training accomplished prior to 1962 was done

on an "on-the-job" basis as could best be accomplished under existing

conditions. The need for well organized and formal training of

auxiliary personnel has been recognized for some time. The three

programs existing at the present time have been developed during

recent years to help meet this need.

The programs are located at the:

1. Intermountain School - PHS Indian Health Center,

Brigham City, Utah2. PHS Health Center - Haskell Institute, Lawrence,

Kansas3. PHS Alaska Native Hospital, Mt. EdgecuMbe, Alaska

All programs are 10 months in length and are conducted on a post-

high school graduate level. Qualified applicants are recruited and

accepted from all Areas of the Division of Indian Health. Twelve

trainees are selected each year for the Intermountain and Haskell

programs and 10 for the Mt. Edgecumbe program for an annual total

of 34 dental assistant trainees for the three programs. There are

over 100 applications received each year for the 34 training po-

sitions."

All training centers conduct complimentary training programs in

conjunction during the year for Division dental officers and assistants

in efficient utilization of auxiliary personnel and clinic management.

Emphasis is given toward the "team" approach in providing dental

services. The large patient load, diversified dental conditions

existing, and varied programs conducted at these centers with con-

centrated practical application in training afford the trainees

unexcelled opportunities for a comprehensive background in the

dental assistant profession.

Didactic and clinical manuals and practical training methods to

assure "well-rounded" knowledge by the graduating assistant have

been developed by the training centers. Constant changes are being

made to enhance the effectiveness of the training so that continued

progress can be made according to the needs of the Division programs

and for contribution to the dental profession.

The curriculum outline represents the base-line of training that is

being conducted at the three training centers of the Division of

Indian Health.
