SAN ANTONIO, TX – February 7, 2025 – The College of Biomedical Equipment Technology (CBET), in partnership with UptimeHealth, today announced the launch of a groundbreaking Dental Repair Technician Program, the first-of-its-kind hybrid training initiative designed to address the critical shortage of qualified dental equipment technicians across the United States.
In an era where dental practices rely increasingly on sophisticated technology, the need for skilled technicians has never been more pressing. This accreditor-approved program combines hands-on training with cutting-edge online learning, preparing the next generation of technical professionals for successful careers in dental equipment maintenance and repair.
“We recognized a clear gap in specialized dental equipment training within the healthcare technology landscape,” said Dr. Richard L. “Monty” Gonzales, President of CBET. “This innovative program isn’t just about fixing equipment – it’s about developing technical professionals who will become true partners in dental healthcare delivery. Our comprehensive curriculum, combined with UptimeHealth’s industry expertise, creates an unparalleled educational experience.”
The program, developed by CBET’s experienced faculty and supported by UptimeHealth’s industry insights, offers both a focused training track and a comprehensive certification pathway. “This program represents a new chapter to expand service and support for the dental industry,” remarked Jinesh Patel, CEO and Co-founder of UptimeHealth. “I worked with and hired CBET-educated technicians during my time as a Clinical Engineering Manager. Their graduates came to us with a great technical foundation and always excelled. I am thrilled to partner with them to help create an engaging, interactive learning experience that combines real-world scenarios with state-of-the-art simulation technology. Together, we’re ensuring students don’t just learn about dental equipment – they master the art and science of keeping dental practices running smoothly.”
UptimeHealth’s Preventive Maintenance Plans will complement this program by emphasizing the importance of proactive maintenance strategies, ensuring students are equipped to provide dental practices with long-term reliability and cost savings. These plans highlight UptimeHealth’s dedication to reducing downtime and protecting the operational efficiency of dental practices nationwide.
Dr. Gonzales emphasized the program’s innovative approach: “We’ve developed this program to perfectly bridge the gap between technical expertise and practical application. We’re not just training technicians; we’re creating dental technology champions who will transform the industry. This partnership with UptimeHealth represents a significant leap in healthcare technology education.”
The program launches with state-of-the-art facilities featuring the latest in dental equipment technology, including:
Advanced simulation laboratories with hands-on training stations
Virtual reality training modules for complex procedure simulation
Remote troubleshooting stations that mirror real-world scenarios
Interactive learning environments designed by experienced educators
The program also incorporates environmental responsibility into its curriculum, ensuring technicians understand the broader impact of their work. “MARS Bio-Med is committed to transforming dental care through sustainable and innovative solutions,” said Stu Sinukoff, President of MARS Bio-Med. “By integrating sustainability-focused training, we are equipping the next generation of dental technicians with the knowledge and tools necessary to mitigate environmental impacts while maintaining industry-leading service standards.”
