This is a two-weekend course.

Fee $1000*

We tentatively plan to offer this course each year in March. Due to the cost involved in offering this course, and the low demand, we can only offer it once a year.

*We understand that this fee is significantly higher than in past years, but we have been taking a loss on this course for many years. After looking at course expenses and average attendance, it costs $1300 per person to break even. We will continue to offer this course because we realize we are currently the only way for those who didn’t attend hygiene school in Oklahoma or are transferring in from another state whose local anesthesia certification isn’t recognized in Oklahoma. Thank you for your understanding.
