Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently,
participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic
achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.
List of Courses
OUR PROGRAM
Dental technologists make a major contribution to the practice of dentistry. These dental workers fabricate all the various appliances used by dentists in the treatment of patients. Dental technologists fabricate orthodontic appliances, full dentures, partial dentures, crowns and bridges from a dentist’s prescription. The technologist may also produce specialty items such as surgical splints and sports mouthguards, as well as implant-related restorations.
Students are taught to standards set out in the College of Dental Technologists of Ontario pamphlet “General Statement of Required Competencies for Entry to the Dental Technology Profession.”
The teaching program is highly project-oriented. Students learn to work in an interprofessional learning environment fostering interprofessional skills.
PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
Clinical Pre-placement Health Form
Students in the third year program must meet all medical and legal requirements for this program outlined on the Pre-Placement Health Form. This may take up to four months. To see those requirements and to download your program health form visit www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement. Students who are unable to comply will be unable to complete their field placement and therefore unable to graduate. All costs, service fees and fines associated with the overall health form requirements are the responsibility of the student. For more information, please contact Suzette Martinuzzi, Pre-placement Coordinator at smartinu@georgebrown.ca or visit www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement.
Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR Level-C) Certification
Students in the third year program must successfully complete the approved CPR Level-(C) course and it must be renewed annually, before commencing the clinical lab courses. These requirements are a pre-requisite for entry into the clinical practicum.
Students will not be eligible to participate in the clinical area if they do not hold current CPR level-(C) certificate. Current means “up-to-date” on a yearly basis for CPR. It is the student’s responsibility to arrange for and take the CPR course outside of regularly scheduled classes.
You may register and take these courses at any Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) approved First Aid Training establishment available in your area. The CPR level-(C) certificate must be presented to the student’s assigned clinical professor on or before the first clinical practice day of each semester in order for the student to take part in clinical practice in the agency assigned. All costs, service fees and fines associated with this requirement are the responsibility of the student. For more information, please download and read carefully your program health form at www.georgebrown.ca/preplacement or contact Suzette Martinuzzi, Pre-placement Coordinator at smartinu@georgebrown.ca
This program is unique in Ontario.
