Expand Your Professional Horizons -- Become an Oral Systemic Educator

The Oral Systemic Educator Certificate Program for Dental Hygienists

Are you a Registered Dental Hygienist (RDH) seeking to transition beyond the traditional clinical setting? The Oral Systemic Educator Certificate Program (OSECP) provides a unique opportunity to expand your career into integrated healthcare roles.

Why Consider the Oral Systemic Educator Certificate Program?

1. ANSI-Accredited Excellence

The Oral Systemic Educator Certificate Program is the first to receive accreditation from the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB), ensuring it meets rigorous educational standards, above and beyond traditional dental continuing education (CE).

2. Comprehensive, Self-Paced Curriculum

With 34.5 AGD PACE credit hours, the course covers critical topics such as nutrition, diabetes, airway, the endocrine system, cardiology, mental health, biological dentistry, maternal/fetal health, pediatric care, geriatric considerations, oncology and more. The self-paced format allows you to learn at your convenience.

3. Credential Recognition

Upon completion, you'll earn the "Certificate Holder in Oral Systemic Education" (CH-OSE) designation, a lifetime credential that enhances your professional credibility. 

4. Diverse Career Opportunities

Graduates have successfully transitioned into roles such as oral health educators within healthcare systems, members of multidisciplinary teams, and community health advocates. The program equips you with the knowledge to collaborate effectively across various healthcare settings. 

5. Reinvigorate Your Passion

Students enroll while still practicing clinical dental hygiene to boost their confidence educating their patients chairside. As a result, many say their income and job satisfaction soared, as they were effectively able to educate, instead of sell treatment.

Expand Your Professional Horizons

The Oral Systemic Educator Certificate Program is more than an educational course; it's a pathway to diverse career opportunities beyond the dental chair. Whether you're interested in public health, education, or integrated healthcare roles, this program provides the foundation to make that transition confidently.
