As part of your training, we will help you to update/write your resume and it will be posted on our website for 2 months after training is complete (CSDA members will have exclusive access to your resume for the first 2 weeks). Once you begin working in an office, DAs in Connecticut are required to complete the Infection Control Competency Assessment (ICCA) within the first 15 months of employment. This is one of two competency assessments the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine has implemented. While the Infection Control Competency Assessment is mandatory, the Radiation Health and Safety Competency Assessment is not required to work as a dental assistant. However, the ability to take x-rays vastly improves your value and talent. Once the ICCA assessment is taken, you will meet the State of Connecticut requirements.
