MCC Dental Hygiene Does It Again! 100% PASSING RATE ON CLINICAL EXAM
The ENTIRE MCC Dental Hygiene Class of 2023 has passed the
Commission on Dental Competency Assessments (CDCA) clinical examination (MTCE)
on April 21, 2023.
Dental hygiene students take three licensure examinations: CDCA Manikin
Treatment Clinical Examination (MTCE), CDCA Objective Structured Clinical
Examination (OSCE), and the ADA National Board Dental Hygiene Examination
(NBDHE). The Class of 2023 students are currently at varying stages of test
taking and most will complete all three by mid-July. Full licensure takes place
after all three tests have been taken and passed. The job market for dental
hygiene is robust and the salaries are substantial, making this health
profession highly desirable.
The faculty are to be congratulated for their exceptional clinical training
capabilities and specialized knowledge in the courses they teach within the
program. The Dental Studies staff provide tremendous support to all of our
students throughout their two years in the program. We are fortunate to be able
to celebrate the many successes our students and faculty achieve, and are
thankful for the support the College provides.
Way to go MCC Dental Hygiene Class of 2023!
