All EFDA and Basic Skills Review courses are at the Clinical Training Center in the lower level of the MDA Executive Office (3340 American Ave, Jefferson City).

• All EFDA courses (except Restorative II) begin at 10am to allow students (in most cases) to drive in the morning of the course and avoid a hotel stay.
• Basic Skills Review begins at 8:15am.
• If an overnight stay is needed, see this list of hotels with any MDA negotiated discounts and a map with proximity to the Training Center.

The MDA schedules courses as often as possible to meet the demands of dental assistant EFDA training.

If it states there are "no courses scheduled at this time," please note we will add courses as soon as they are scheduled and open for registration. The courses listed below are those that have open spots and are not past the final registration deadline.

• Course sizes are limited and are filled on a first come, first served basis. You are encouraged to register early to ensure availability.
• You are NOT considered registered until required copies of certification/permits are received by the MDA.

There is a course minimum for four registrants to hold a course. If the minimum is not met, you will be contacted about moving to the next scheduled course.
