If you didn't attend one of our Michigan courses, you can complete the MDA Radiography Training Program through the dentist who hires you. It's $265 if your dentist is an MDA member, or $365 if not. Many offices cover the fee.

Your dentist acts as your supervising dentist. Once you pass the online training and meet all requirements, you'll get a certificate of completion signed by your dentist.
