Dental Assistant is the very first health science simulation in the Virtual Healthcare series from Knowledge Matters. Students will apply the concepts they have learned in class as they progress through this experiential learning journey on their way to becoming a Dental Assistant. In a low-stakes virtual setting, students will gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to strive for high patient satisfaction and quality care, and how to assist with dental procedures.

Within the simulation, time is slowed to allow students the ability to focus on the steps involved with each procedure. They will also enhance their comprehension of communicating effectively, scope of practice, managing infection control, how to handle emergencies, and charting and managing patient notes using the CPIF tool (Clinical Patient Interaction Form).
