How It Works
Interested candidates need sponsorship from a Delegating Dentist who is the current employer. If you want to expand your skills, perform restorative functions under the supervision of a dentist, and stand out in your practice—this course is for you.
Your delegating Dentist will register you under his/her FDA membership, validate your credentials, and mentor you through the program.
Work through online lessons, in-person simulations, and live patient care.
Once you pass the final exam and evaluations, you’re done!
After having an assistant finish the RFDA program, I have been throughly impressed with the entire process. Our team has benefitted from the added expertise of our newly trained restorative assistant and, our office as a whole, is more efficient and able to provide increased treatment daily to our community of patients. This program is just another way the FDA continues to be a worthwhile yearly investment for our office. The seamless online application and always accessible help desk for questions allowed myself and our assistant the necessary tools to navigate the learning platform and scheduled in person lab times. Great job FDA team! Thank you!
