Treatment Coordinator


Treatment coordinators can enhance every aspect of your practice by educating patients, actively participating in treatment planning, presenting treatment plans and following up on care. Dental assistants can assume this critical function with special training to foster these new skills.

The in-depth, in-office training option is a customized, one-on-one training program designed especially for your office. Catherine works directly with dental assistants to ensure that they are proficient, comfortable and confident in their new treatment coordinator role.

Whether conducted on-site or in a study group, the treatment coordinator training offers dental assistants the opportunity to earn two Continuing Education credit hours, approved by the Dental Assistants National Board. As an experienced instructor, Catherine offers courses which carry Continuing Education (CE) credit status with the Dental Assistants National Board (DANB) for dental assistants, and treatment coordinators.
