From all of us at Risio Institute, HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are all excited for the year ahead and we know that 2024 will be filled with prosperity and growth. As we reflect on the previous year, we see milestones and goals being reached, while planning for our future.

2023 brought us conversations with dental professionals who want to enhance access to education and solve labour shortages, while it also brought our students an opportunity to gain their education while maintaining their roles in their dental offices and hometowns. We were able to include additional theoretical content in our LMS for our students to enhance their learning through industry experts who are eager to see our students succeed. We are so grateful for the collaborations, video content and additional learning resources that our dental industry has graciously provided to Risio Institute to offer our students a learning experience that cannot be found elsewhere!

As we move into 2024, we will implement a strategic plan that offers our students even better access to education, along with helping to solve dental industry shortages across the country. Staying true to our vision is our number one priority and together with our team, we will make 2024 the BEST YEAR YET!
