WHAT IF YOUR NEXT CAREER COULD START IN JUST 11 WEEKS?

You don’t need a 4-year degree to build a career in healthcare.

You don’t need years of experience.

And you don’t have to spend years wondering, “What should I do with my life?”

Dental Assisting could be your starting point.

Here’s something worth knowing:

📈 Dental assisting employment is projected to grow 7% through 2035 — much faster than the average for all occupations.

💰 $48,070 is the current U.S. median annual wage for dental assistants.

💼 About 53,000 dental assisting openings are projected each year over the next decade.

And in Virginia? The outlook is even more interesting: employment is projected to grow 18% from 2022–2032, with approximately 1,360 openings per year.

But statistics only tell part of the story.

A career in dental assisting can mean:
✨ Working in healthcare without spending years in school
✨ Working directly with patients
✨ Learning hands-on clinical skills
✨ Building experience that can open doors to future opportunities
✨ And, for some, using dental assisting as a stepping stone toward dental hygiene or dental school

At Morrison Education Center, our Dental Assisting program is designed to get you out of the classroom and into the real world.
