California Premium Curriculum Path

Clinical Ready™ With Two Integrated California Certificate Pathways.

A California-specific Premium school model combining the full Clinical Ready™ dental assisting curriculum with integrated Infection Control and Radiation Safety coursework, practical requirements, completion records, and a 286-hour California Premium training structure.

Course approval, instructor qualifications, practical requirements, certificate eligibility, school exemption or approval, and delivery sequence must match the applicable California Dental Board and private-postsecondary pathway. SMV does not guarantee approval or certification.

One Premium Curriculum—Configured for California

This Is Not Three Separate Programs Stacked on the Student.

The California model uses Clinical Ready™ as the curriculum foundation. Infection Control and Radiation Safety requirements are mapped into the same weekly sequence, instructor workflow, skills documentation, and student platform.

  • Students move through one coordinated learning calendar.
  • Duplicate theory is reduced by mapping certificate content to the core curriculum.
  • Course-specific practical requirements remain separately documented.
  • Certificate completion does not replace the overall school graduation requirements.
  • The pathway remains Premium only because it requires deeper implementation and compliance control.

Integrated California Certificate Courses

Two Course Pathways Built Into the Clinical Ready™ Schedule.

Each certificate course retains its own content, assessments, practical requirements, instructor qualifications, and recordkeeping—even though delivery is coordinated with the main dental assisting program.

Integrated Course 01

California Infection Control

California-specific infection-control instruction aligned with the Clinical Ready™ turnover, sterilization, contamination-control, and practice-safety domains.

  • California infection-control law and required standards
  • Standard precautions, PPE, hand hygiene, and exposure control
  • Instrument processing, sterilization monitoring, and storage
  • Surface disinfection, barriers, product use, and contact time
  • Sharps safety, waste handling, and contamination correction
  • Required laboratory or practical evaluation and course assessment
Eligible students receive separate Infection Control course-completion documentation after satisfying the approved course requirements. This is not an automatic RDA license.
Integrated Course 02

California Radiation Safety

California-specific radiation-safety education aligned with the Clinical Ready™ radiography workflow, image-quality, retake-reduction, and infection-control domains.

  • Radiation physics, biological effects, and patient protection
  • Equipment, exposure principles, and operator safety
  • Receptor placement, positioning logic, and infection control
  • Image evaluation, error recognition, and retake correction
  • California-required practical or manikin activity as applicable
  • Required examinations, competency records, and completion documentation
Eligible students receive separate Radiation Safety course-completion documentation after satisfying the approved course requirements. Certification requirements and scope are controlled by California rules.

Integrated Delivery Sequence

One Calendar. Distinct Compliance Records.

The exact week mapping is finalized during California implementation, but the operating principle remains the same: certificate content supports—not interrupts—the Clinical Ready™ progression.

1

Weeks 1–3: Foundations

Clinical Ready™ orientation, operatory systems, terminology, safety, and early California Infection Control theory.

2

Weeks 4–6: Infection Control

Turnover, sterilization, contamination control, practical application, assessment, and course-record completion.

3

Weeks 7–8: Radiation Safety

Radiography theory, patient protection, positioning, image errors, infection control, and required practical activity.

4

Weeks 9–12: Validation

Restorative support, digital dentistry, clinical blocks, externship, remediation, and final competency audit.

Important: the integrated schedule does not merge the certificates into a single generic school certificate. Each California course maintains separate eligibility, assessment, practical, instructor, and completion records.

Student Completion Records

Three Different Records—Three Different Meanings.

Keeping the records separate prevents students and employers from confusing program completion with certificate-course completion or state licensure.

Dental Assisting Program Record

Documents completion of the approved or exempt Clinical Ready™ dental assisting program requirements, including academics, attendance, labs, clinical blocks, externship, and competency gates.

Infection Control Certificate

Separate course-completion documentation issued only after the student meets the California Infection Control course requirements and applicable eligibility standards.

Radiation Safety Certificate

Separate course-completion documentation issued only after the student meets the California Radiation Safety course requirements and applicable practical standards.
