Conversion training trains practical nurses into dental nurses in less than a year – The application period is now open!
The conversion training implemented jointly by Omnia and the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County is a practical path to a new profession. The application period for training starting in January 2024 is open until 22 October 2023.
Practical nurses who have already graduated and want to specialise in oral care can apply for the training. The training period lasts about 11 months. Education is implemented as blended learning, and it includes several internships at the dental clinic of your municipality or the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County. Education will be given in Finnish.
After graduating, dental nurses can seek work in areas they are interested in, such as basic care, orthodontic treatment, emergency care, specialised care units or a customer service centre. The aim is to offer all graduates a job in the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County after training.
Theoretical education is organised in the Omnia facilities in Espoon keskus. Clinical education is organised in the Samaria Dental Clinic, where students can quickly apply theory into practice.
