Parenteral Moderate Sedation For Dentists : Clinical Session I 2017

Parenteral Moderate Sedation For Dentists : Clinical Session I is organized by Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC and would be held during Aug 10 - 13, 2017 at Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC, Los Angeles, California, United States Of America. The Target Audience for this medical event is basically for Dentists.

The 2017 course expands its curriculum to include new drug regimens, advances in patient monitoring, and ACLS Certification. The course consists of 11 days for a total of 88 hours; 7 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.
