With over 20 years of higher education experience and 96 successful partnerships across the US, Smart Medical Ventures (SMV) offers a well-tested, step-by-step, and the most advanced Dental Assisting Training Program for dentists who want to establish a side business to supplement the income from their practice.
Partnering with SMV Schools will allow you and your practice to:


Smart Medical Ventures (SMV) was established in 2004 as a college partner to major flagship universities across the United States. We ran our high-quality assistant training programs by leasing offices in nearby medical clinics and practices.
As Dental practitioners noticed the growing quantity of highly skilled and committed talents undergoing training under their roof every quarter, many expressed a keen desire to operate their dental assistant school.
We were inspired by this to translate our love for vocational education into a platform that allows dentists worldwide to benefit from our top curriculums and exclusive educational technology.
In 2018, we launched the SMV Dental Assisting School Program, a turnkey school business model tailored exclusively for entrepreneurial-minded practice owners.
With the 96 members (and continually growing!) within our network, our goal is to provide dentists with an innovative and unique business opportunity to grow their income from their practice, positively impact their profession, and make a difference in their lives and those around them.

Premium outcome-based hybrid curriculum with a high level of hands-on learning. Teach the students soft skills.

SMV Schools can offer affordable tuition because investment in buildings, equipment, and large capital requirements is not necessary.
