Effectiveness Indicators

Effectiveness health call for the UH Maui College Dental Assisting Program is Healthy. In spring 2013, the University of Hawai‘i Maui College granted 18 DENT major students the Certificate of Completion certificate. 100% of the dental assisting graduates are working in the dental office, attending UH Maui College Dental Hygiene Program or completing courses in the pursuit to be accepted in the UH Maui College Dental Hygiene Program.
In working with UH Maui College and the Dental Assisting National Board, Dental Assisting students have access to computer testing of the Dental Assisting National Board Exam at UH Maui College, resulting in convenience in the testing process and increased student success. In spring 2012, the DANB board announced a change to their testing policy where assess to testing on Maui would not be allowed beginning January 2013. I requested an exception to this new policy due to financial hardship and strain in having to travel to the closest Pearson Professional Testing Center on Oahu. It was a pleasure to receive an exception to the DANB policy, where students will be allowed to test at the Kahului site.
Due to our historically high DANB passing rate and scores, in spring of 2013, Dental Assisting textbook publisher Elsevier offered our students complimentary pilot review exams for preparation for the DANB exam. UH Maui College Dental Assisting students participated in this pilot program and received valuable test-taking experience and remediation services which contributed to the 100% DANB passing rate.
In academic year 2012-2013, 18 of 18 (100%) students received national DANB certified dental assistant certification.

Perkins IV Core Indicators 2012-2013 Analysis

2P1 Completion - 18 of 18 students graduated in spring 2013, receiving a Certificate of Completion for 100% (77.78 reported.)
3P1 Student Retention or Transfer 100% of full-time students completed the fall and spring sessions (90 reported.) DENT 120 Dental Office Management allows non-program students to enroll. Because they are not program students, these students can only enroll in this class and cannot enroll in any spring DENT courses. This leads to a lower that actual retention rate reported.
5P1 Non-trad Participation and 5P2 Non-trad Completion – 4 men applied for the fall 2012 cohort, but none were accepted due to non-competitive selection criteria scores. In fall 2013, 6 men applied and 2 were accepted in the Dental Assisting Program (11%). The Dental Assisting Program is working with non-trad facilitator Miles Woronovich in promoting the Dental Assisting program to men by featuring a male student on our new program rack card. The program continues to make a concerted effort to recruit men to the Dental Assisting Program.

Outcome and Goal Achievement
1. Program Learning Outcomes

The goals/student learning outcomes of the UH Maui College Dental Assisting Program are to facilitate the development of entry level care providers who:

PLO 1 - Demonstrate an understanding of dental assistant roles including the legal, professional, and ethical responsibilities within the community.

PLO 2 - Demonstrate basic theoretical knowledge and skills in biological science, dental radiology, chairside dental assisting, and business office procedures to support dental assisting practice and build the foundation for an associate degree dental hygiene program.

PLO 3 - Demonstrate a commitment to life-long learning and advancing competency over a lifetime of clinical practice.
