What is New for 2022!

Carey-Ann Thurlow

March 7, 2022

2022 kicked off with new monthly intakes and the pandemic restrictions slowly
lifting! As we move forward in the new year, we are reminded of all of the
obstacles the world has faced over the past 2 years, and we are extremely
thankful to be standing on our feet and living our dream!

While the pandemic brought its own obstacles, we also moved through some
great milestones at Risio Institute! In January 2022, we celebrated 2 years since
offering our first intake of students. In February 2022, we celebrated 1 year
since offering our first clinical module at Risio Institute. And, all of that time in
between was spent mentoring and teaching the next great generation of dental
assistants!

What do we have in store for the remainder of 2022? We are now at the stage
where we will be offering the Term 1 and Term 2 clinical modules back to back,
so we will be busy in our clinical location in Calgary! We are working on other
great initiatives, and can’t wait to share our ideas with you all!

Cheers to a great spring! May health and happiness surround you!
