Course Overview

Our refresher courses are approved by the Alberta College of Dental Hygienists to meet the practice hours requirement for reinstatement. The course can get you up to speed with the latest competency requirements and prepare you to return to practice.

Pre-Study Topics

  • Dental hygiene process of care
  • Radiology theory, technique and interpretation
  • Instrument maintenance and reprocessing
  • Sealants

During the on-site clinical component participants will have the opportunity to practice the material reviewed during patient clinical care in the Oral Health Clinic at the University of Alberta. With an online self-study portion, and a meticulous hands-on practice component, gain confidence in your ability to return to your practice safely.

Prerequisites

Participants must have a current CPR certificate (BLS – issued within the last 12 months that will remain valid through the clinical sessions).
