About Julian Milian, CHEP & MCP
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 assistants as needed, grow practice income during non-patient hours, positively impact their industry, and improve their lives.
Even though the company has grown over the past few years, Julian Milian, Founder/CEO of MCP, remains easily accessible, actively involved in operations, and is a speaker and presenter at collegiate and medical/dental practice conventions and events.
Why a Vocational School is the Perfect Business For Your Practice
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.

The curriculum prepared me well for Dental Assisting in the real world
“I had a great time attending your Dental Assisting school. I found the instructors to be very knowledgeable and supportive. The curriculum prepared me well for Dental Assisting in the real world. I found employment immediately after graduation. Thank you so much for all of your help!”
Nicole Thatcher
I learned many things that I hadn’t anticipated.
“I really enjoyed the classes and instructors in this program. I learned many things that I hadn’t anticipated. It was surreal because the learning takes place with a real dentist, in a real practice, and I also got to work with real patients. It didn’t feel like a school—it was more like actual on-the-job training.”
Amy Milner
This program was worth my time, energy, and tuition.
“I turned my resume into local dentist offices, which included excellent recommendations from the doctors at the school. Within the first week, I was scheduling interviews. I work full time now and I am very happy with my line of work. This program was worth my time, energy, and tuition. I am very pleased with what you have done for my life! Thanks again.”

Burning Out Is NOT A Normal Part Of Healthcare
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.
