 Prepare for a medical career in the fields of:

 DENTAL LAB ASSISTING
This is an introductory program to prepare the students to fulfill the requirements and roles expected of them as dental technologists and as valuable members of the dental healthcare team. Working from the prescription of the dentist, the dental lab assistant evaluates the study models of the patient's oral cavity before determining the appropriate method and materials to use. The fabrication of dental prostheses and orthotics must result in function, esthetics, and patient comfort.

The objective of this program is to train individuals in the use and application of oral restorative techniques and materials. A few of the areas studied are metals, plastics, colors, and porcelain, as well as, the bones and muscles of the head and neck.

After high school the students will be able to work in a dental laboratory, dental office, or further their education in dentistry.

 

 MEDICAL LABORATORY

VISION CARE ASSISTING
The Vision Care Program introduces the student to the optical field. Upon completion of this six-hour course, students are able to work in the optical industry in a variety of settings.
This course introduces the student to ocular anatomy and physiology, basic optical principles, geometric optics, lensometry, keratometry, and optical laboratory techniques. The material covered in this program consists of both theory and practical hands-on work. Students will use state of the art optical equipment on a daily basis. Techniques such as surfacing, finishing, and the dispensing of eye wear are mastered, resulting in a complete pair of prescription eyeglasses that will allow someone to see clearly through a piece of material such as glass or plastic. Additionally, the student is trained on patient workup procedures such as taking patient history, visual acuitys, and color vision testing.
This education will enable the students to acquire a job in the optical industry where they may select an apprenticeship to become an optician or ophthalmic assistant or continue their education by earning an Associates of Science degree in Opticianry. They may also select to earn a Bachelor's degree and then continue on to optometry school or medical school to specialize in ophthalmology.
