Fall Is In The Air

October 1, 2022

October is a great time to hit the reset button! After a summer of fun and adventure, the fall season encourages us to take a step back and reflect on what the year brought us. For us at Risio Institute, 2022 has been a year of hard work, perseverance and most of all, FUN! We hosted multiple clinical modules this year and got to meet many of our students in person. We started an intake each month, beginning with online theory and grew our instructor team along the way!

As we reflect on 2022, we set our sites high on 2023! Our plans for Risio Institute is to continue offering access to education across Canada, growing our clinical locations in other provinces. Stay tuned for more details about our next location! While we are excited to expand, we also recognize the magnitude of work it takes to become approved, licensed and accredited.

This fall, we will continue to build post-graduate modules for existing Registered Dental Assistants to take. All additional modules must be approved by the College of Alberta Dental Assistants prior to being able to offer them to students, so we have been working hard to get these built and ready for submission to the CADA Council!

We are eager for another great season, and look forward to the crisp, fall air!
