How does Our Program Work? 

As an accelerated program here at DAAPB, we integrate our on-campus learning and training experience with an online component. All online components are to be completed before starting each class. This means, before starting on-campus Day One of the program, students must complete the online study lectures and homework. Our on-campus day starts with a short lecture to review what was studied online and gives an opportunity for students to ask questions. 

Our Education Curriculum is Approved by the Florida Board of Dentistry Licensed by the Commission of Independent Education. We must report our class retention rates along with passing with a 70% or above; and a record of our students that have secured employment. Our School is reviewed each year with an on-site inspection and evaluation and Our Licensed is renewed each year with completion of the Commissions Assessment.

Importance of an Externship

On-campus, working in the dental skills laboratories offers the students the ability to work on manikins or fellow classmates, along with the instructor presiding. However, externships allow for students to become involved in real life scenarios as they prepare for a career. It is exceedingly valuable for students to get connected with their externship. We encourage all students to start their 55 hours of externship as soon as possible. This allows students to have a real dental office experience which gives them an opportunity to secure a job through their externship site.
