Cheers To A Great Year

December 8, 2021

While we close another great year at Risio Institute, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the many people involved in making our Dental Assistant Distance Delivery program a success!

In 2021, we added over 100 students to our roster, while also employing four additional team members to instruct in the clinical modules and online, along with our Patient Care dentist! That said, we also collaborated with over 100 additional dental offices across BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, to make their team members’ dream of furthering their education come true!

Our dental community also added great value with their support and generosity this year, including Patterson Dental, Henry Schein, dentalcorp, Aligntech, ADEC, Sirona and various other dental offices & individuals who contributed to our clinical location.

Thank-you! May 2022 bring fortune and prosperity to everyone involved in ourdream!
CHEERS TO 2021!!!
