The MDA Radiography Training Program allows dentists to provide a convenient, affordable way for dental assistants to obtain radiography training required under Michigan law without the need for classrooms, travel and time away from work using an innovative nine-part, online training program. The cost is $265/per assistant for MDA members and $365/per assistant for non-MDA members.
After successful completion of the online training, the assistant — under the supervision of a licensed dentist — must demonstrate the ability to perform two acceptable full-mouth series of images (including four bitewings) with a maximum of five retakes. After meeting all course requirements, a certificate of completion will be issued that will be signed by the supervising dentist.
