Reflecting On The Year We’ve Had

Carey-Ann Thurlow

December 1, 2022

Reflecting on 2022, we are so grateful for everyone that contributed their time and attention to Risio Institute! We could not do what we love without our incredible team and the amazing dental industry across Canada. 2022 has been our busiest year and our largest growth in terms of student enrolments and industry collaborations. We enroled nearly 100 students in our Dental Assistant Distance Delivery Program this past year and saw numerous students in the clinical modules in Calgary, Alberta.

Our Risio team worked hard, as we built our Patient Care network and taught students in both Term 1 and Term 2 clinical modules. We added some new team members in 2022 and celebrated our existing team, who we cherish dearly! When we are asked about our success, our immediate response is ‘OUR TEAM’!!!

Moving into 2023, we have something exciting to share that we launched on our website! We are offering a Dental Jumpstart Program for prospective students who are interested in working in the sterilization area of the dental office, and who are looking to jumpstart their career in dental assisting! This course is recognized for credit toward the RIDDE-102 module in Risio’s Dental Assistant
Distance Delivery Program. As we move forward into the new year, watch our website for more exciting new offerings!

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
