Mastering Moderate Conscious Parenteral Sedation: BC Level II Course

This is the training course that Dental Ed offers to allow the qualified registrant to provide parenteral sedation using benzodiazepine drugs with or without narcotics, most often using fentanyl. This clinical course only applies to BC dentists who hold a parenteral level I authorization with the CDSBC and wish to obtain level II authorization.

COURSE OPTIONS

Option 1
  1. For dentists who have graduated from the Dental Ed Level I MODSED course.
  2. The required training for graduates of the MODSED Level I course is the undertaking of a three day clinical where you undertake the supervised application of IV sedation using both a benzodiazepine and a narcotic drug for a minimum of 20 patients over a three day period.
Option 2
  1. For dentists who cannot return to the provider of their original single drug course and want level II authorization.
  2. The CDSBC requires that the participant completes the full MODSED Level I didactic component then do their clinical using both a benzodiazepine and a narcotic drug for a minimum of 20 cases over a three day period.
  3. This will require registration in the full MODSED Level 1 course with the dual drug clinical at the standard tuition rates.
