Seattle, WA (PRWEB) December 17, 2006 -- Dental Assistant students at Pima Medical Institute, 9709 3rd Ave, NE in Seattle can see smiles from the inside out due to a donation from a local dentist. In addition to the AcuCam Intra-Oral Cameral System, the career college received a Harvey, a special unit used for sterilizing large volumes of equipment from the dental clinic of Maurine MacHugh, D.D.S.
                
The AcuCam Intra-Oral Camera system allows students to take a look inside a patient's mouth via a slender rod that houses a video camera. The rod is inserted in the mouth cavity and may be maneuvered to get various real-time images of what is inside the mouth. The images are displayed on the unit's monitor and can be frozen and printed in color on the attached photo printer.
                
"We are thankful to Dr. MacHugh for her generous donations, as well as her Dental assistant Brenda Carpenter, a 2003 graduate of our DA program, for suggesting PMI as the lucky recipient of the equipment," said George Borchers, campus director of the career college. "It just proves that the relationships we have with our students goes beyond graduation."
    
In addition to the Dental Assistant program, the Seattle campus offers career training for Health Unit Coordinator, Medical Assistant, Medical Administrative Assistant, Pharmacy Technician, Phlebotomy Technician, Radiography, Veterinary Assistant and Veterinary Technician.
