Hired Before Graduation | Rachel Ederer
Rachel Ederer (Rachel was hired prior to graduating in Fall 2021)
Hometown: Plain, Wisconsin
Program: Dental Assistant
Why did you choose your program?
I have always liked going to the dentist and helping people, so I combined both of them and found my program that I really enjoyed. I get to educate people on their oral health and tell patients the importance of a smile, and I love that I can be hands on every day.
What did you enjoy about your Southwest Tech experience?
The instructors are extremely helpful and the classroom is detail focused. For you, the student, help is always available. The experience and friendship with my classmates and instructors are forever grateful
Were you involved in any student club or activities on campus?
I was not in any clubs or activities, due to being a full time student, as well as only being here for 6 months. However, after class, I would hangout with my roommates and friends at the bowling ally on Wednesdays and we would have study sessions at my dorm/apartment.
Where are you employed?

My responsibilities include pouring models, taking impressions, calling labs, assisting the doctor for various procedures, making the patient feel welcomed and comfortable, taking x-rays, helping out with other doctors if I have some down time, writing detailed notes and charting, conducting and scheduling treatment plans.
