A complete program for dental and medical practices to launch and operate their own allied health vocational school, with state licensure, ownership training, premium Clinical Ready curriculums, and ongoing operational support.
Leveraging over 24 years of higher education experience and 178 successful independent school launches, MCP provides a proven, step-by-step, and cutting-edge allied health vocational School Program for entrepreneurial healthcare professionals who are looking for a recession-proof business to augment their practice income… and get on the thriving career education market at an accessible startup price.
Julian Milian, a Certified Higher Education Professional in Campus Operations (CHEP) and one of the few early pioneers of short-term vocational education, founded MCP in 2004 as a collegiate partner to the Continuing Education Divisions of large flagship universities across the country, which partnered with Julian and MCP to offer our premium allied health training programs. This includes the University of Florida, the University of Texas, New Mexico State University, the University of California, Irvine, and the University of Florida. This includes professional medical, pharmacy, and dental colleges.
Julian is a nationally recognized trade school expert who has actually started and run the type of practice-based school you’re trying to build.
Over time, many dental and medical practice owners would reach out to Julian and MCP to express their keen interest in starting their own schools. In 2020, during Covid shutdowns, many practices were experiencing a serious loss of trained dental assistants, a trend that continues in 2026.
In 2020, Julian launched the MCP practice-based Dental and Medical Assisting School Program – a turnkey school business model tailored exclusively for entrepreneurial-minded practice owners.
With 178 independently owned schools in the MCP network, MCP’s mission is to empower practice owners with a unique, innovative business opportunity to build a talent pool of healthcare assistants as needed, grow practice income during non-patient hours, positively impact their industry, and improve their lives.
In 2026, MCP joined forces with Vocational Education Ventures to support the launch and growth of work-based skilled trades vocational schools.
Although the company has grown over the past few years, Julian Milian, Founder/CEO of MCP, remains easily accessible, stays actively involved in operations, and speaks and presents at collegiate and medical/dental practice conventions and events.
Opening a vocational School is unquestionably the most effective and lucrative business for dental and medical practices today. Despite the economy, there’s still a strong need for trained assistants across the U.S. and Canada. Allied healthcare is the third-fastest-growing occupation that doesn’t require a college degree.
Practice owners nationwide are desperate for well-trained, invested assistants who can improve the overall quality of patient care.
As a result, there’s strong demand for quality schools that can provide well-trained dental and medical assistants nationwide to thousands of aspiring career seekers looking to invest in a flourishing career in allied healthcare.
With the right facilities, guidance, and materials — you too can operate a school in your territory and benefit from a consistent pool of trained assistants and a stream of additional revenue through tuition fees during non-patient hours.
Launching a school allows you to significantly reduce overhead by utilizing your office and equipment during closed hours. We will train your staff to teach the school curriculum part-time. You’ll even get access to your own constant pool of trained assistants, reducing recruitment and turnover costs.
This is NOT a DIY package. This is a proven, all-inclusive, and step-by-step partnership that provides ongoing support and innovation.
MCP is an active partner with a vested interest in the success of each campus under our care. We deliberately designed the program so that we perform all the foundational work to get your school up and running… with little-to-no effort on your part.

It’s true that you can make a good living in dentistry, medicine, and pharmacy. But too often, we see that concept fall apart when healthcare professionals get caught in overwork and an unforgiving hustle that ultimately breaks them down.
The enthusiasm you had when you first started your career has likely tapered off steadily over the years. Factors such as time pressure, client servicing, staff management, marketing efforts, overhead costs, and crippling debt generate enough stress to cause a myriad of physical and mental issues.
This can also sabotage the quality of your relationships because, by the time you “punch out” of your practice, you’ve little energy left to be fully present with the people you care about — including yourself.
To top that off — the shocking rates of divorce, alcoholism, substance abuse, and even suicide in these critical industries are surely a wake-up call to revisit your business strategy and explore a completely different, sustainable, and alignable way to truly make an even better living.
And we all know what that means: fewer hours and dare we say it — fewer patients — at a time.
But just how do you manage that… and still be able to account for all your operational costs, provide top-notch service to your clients, manage a qualified and satisfied team, and lead the comfortable and fulfilling life that you set out to create? Schedule a call to find out how.
Each state in the U.S has its own unique requirements and application processes for granting licensure or approval for private postsecondary vocational schools, non-degree-granting, and degree-granting institutions.
This is a daunting and detailed process in both content and documentation — with very specific language, formats, and deadlines for submission.
If anything is out of balance within your business plan, financial projections, school curriculum, enrollment agreement, or even sample marketing — your application will be returned.
That’s why it’s important to have experienced, professional licensing consultants such as MCP at your side. We’ve completed licensure applications for schools in over 26 states.
When you become an MCP Partner, our professional compliance team will save you over 30 hours of research and document preparation to ensure that your State Vocational School License is guaranteed.
A Preview Of The Technologies You Get As A Partner
Still not convinced if a Dental Assisting School with MCP is the best option for you? See the table below to compare a partnership with us with two of our competitors.
MCP’s launch fee supports the startup work required to create a real school infrastructure: licensure support, curriculum systems, student and instructor platforms, staff training, website assets, marketing collateral, and launch guidance.
Once your school is active, MCP continues to support the ecosystem through a low monthly platform and support license. That fee keeps your school connected to the tools, curriculum, systems, and resources needed to operate with structure.
The economics are simple: just over one student per year can cover the annual platform and support cost.
That allows the dentist-owner to keep 100% of school tuition revenue while MCP continues supporting the systems behind the school.
