Kaiser Permanente Dental Career Day
Go behind-the-scenes at a dental clinic to learn about careers such as dental hygienist, dental assistant, and dental sterilization technician. Participate in hands-on activities such as taking radiographs, preparing instruments for sterilization, taking blood pressures, making impressions, and learning basic CPR. Learn about volunteer, training, and career opportunities with Kaiser Permanente, and get coaching from professionals about how to get started. Lunch included. IN PERSON in Portland (Rockwood).
How to attend:
Step 1: Fill out the student interest form ASAP. (Type your email address and cell number carefully so we can reach you!)
Step 2: Have your parent/guardian fill out the parent/guardian permission form ASAP. (Your application can’t be considered until this is done.) Students who do this early have much better luck at being accepted.
Step 3: PWA will contact you to let you know if you’re accepted or waitlisted, or if the career day is full.
Step 4: Show up and have an amazing time!
