Externships & Career Opportunities

Externships

Students will complete a 5-week externship at the end of their program. An externship is your opportunity to use your learned skills while working in a dental office, a specialty practice office, or other healthcare setting as a part of your training at IBMC College.

Similar to an internship, you’ll be treated as a regular employee of the company, and your employer will evaluate your work for college credit. That means you’ll be able to put industry work experience on your resume — even before you graduate. Often, IBMC College students are even hired on as full-time employees after completing their externships.

Career Opportunities

Dental careers are on the rise and qualified Dental Assistants are in high demand. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Dental Assistant jobs are expected to grow by 19% through 2026.**
