The Division of Workforce Development and Community Education is pleased to offer an Alternative Dental Assisting Program Course.
The dental assistant is an important member of the dental health care team. The dental assistant is directly involved in patient care, such as reducing patient anxiety, preparing and sterilizing dental instruments; mixing dental materials; and exchanging instruments to the dentist at chairside during procedures. Other duties may include laboratory and office management duties. The Alternative Dental Assisting Program (ADAP) is an alternate course of study accepted by the New York State Education Department (NYSED) and provides the required education and clinical experience in order to be eligible for licensure as a Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) in New York State.
