Course Description:
The Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry is proud to offer to you this comprehensive parenteral moderate sedation course. The 2017 course expands its curriculum to include new drug regimens, advances in patient monitoring, and ACLS Certification. The course consists of 12 days for a total of 96 hours; 8 days of lectures and workshops and 4 days of clinical patient interaction. The course meets (and exceeds) the educational requirements established by the ADA Guidelines and fulfills most state regulations for administration of IV moderate sedation to dental patients. Each didactic day begins with a pre-session knowledge assessment and concludes with a case-based group learning exercise. Participants will perform physical evaluation, take medical history, outline an anesthetic plan, initiate and confirm intravenous access, administer and become competent in the titration of sedative medications, and perform dental procedures under close supervision of faculty who have had post-graduate training in dental anesthesiology.
