The Howard Healthcare Academy Advantage
The founders of Howard Healthcare Academy sought to create an environment to technically educate as well as provide professional guidance to help students launch their successful careers. Dental assistant students at Howard Academy receive in-depth course training, hands-on work experience and practice interviewing with faculty members, dentists and human resources professionals to ensure they have job search skills.
Our faculty members are licensed by the Dental Board of California, trained and experienced dental professionals. Their expertise in dentistry and passion for educating aspiring dental professionals help us fulfill our mission and core values. Howard Healthcare Academy courses are approved by the Dental Board of California and the Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education for our dental assistant program as well as our standalone continuing education courses and certifications.
Howard Healthcare Academy takes pride in providing a unique dental assisting education through our partnership with The Super Dentists. This real-life learning approach at San Diego’s number one pediatric and orthodontic dental office allows students the opportunity to be immersed in a dentist office environment while learning to be dental assistants.
