Dental Assistant Training Program
Due to a very popular response, applications are no longer being accepted for the paid dental assistant trainee positions.
About the Program: Upon completion of the 1-year program, participants will get a guaranteed wage increase, and can pursue a fulfilling and rewarding career path with increased responsibilities and pay along the way.
We’re looking for candidates who love working with people, helping our community and are good with their hands. Throughout the next several weeks, applications will be reviewed, candidates screened and then a group will be invited for an in-person interview.

As a UR employee, you'll get full-time pay and benefits, including paid vacation and holidays, health insurance and retirement plans — all while you train and gain working experience as a Dental Assistant. Successful candidates will experience classroom learning, observation, and hands-on training. After a few months, Dental Assistant trainees start to master their skills by assisting dentists independently. No mandatory homework.

Candidates must be 17 years or older and should have an interest in healthcare and working with the public. The University of Rochester is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Openings are filled using an unbiased selection process without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, veteran status or marital status.
