It has been a busy few weeks at the College of Biomedical Equipment Technology (CBET) in Texas, and we’ve loved having so many people stop by!
We had a great visit from Andrea L. Bordenca with DESCO Service, who spent time with our Dental Boot Camp students and CBET team. Andrea got a firsthand look at the collaborative environment in our labs, where students work together, share resources, and train on a wide variety of manufacturers, models, and equipment. We especially appreciated the conversations around workforce development and where HTM education is headed next.
Chace Torres, CBET, CHTM from Ohms Law Foundation stopped by too! We’re grateful for his continued support of students through the Ohms Law Foundation Scholarship and for the investment the foundation is making in future HTM professionals.

We were also happy to welcome Bryant K. Hawkins Sr. from Elevate HTM, alongside Trimedx, for more great conversations around the industry, education, and developing the next generation of HTM talent.
Darrine Miller from UptimeHealth also joined us during Dental Boot Camp. CBET is proud to work with UptimeHealth on dental education initiatives, and having Darrine on-site gave our students another opportunity to connect directly with an industry partner and learn more about the dental equipment field.
And of course, it was great having Stu Sinukoff and Heather from MARS Bio-Med Processes Inc. in the office! MARS has been an incredible supporter of dental education, including through the MARS Biomedical Dental Scholarship, which helps students pursue careers in dental equipment service and repair. Students interested in pursuing CBET's Dental Equipment Repair Certificate can apply for the scholarship here: https://cbet.edu/scholarships/
Last but not least, we recently welcomed an international student all the way from Melbourne, Australia for hands-on dental equipment training. Getting students into the lab, working directly with equipment, and putting what they’ve learned into practice is one of our favorite parts of what we do.
We love seeing our Texas office full of students, partners, employers, and friends from across the industry. Thank you to everyone who has stopped by lately. Our doors have been busy, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! 💙
