Section XXXIII-1504 - Pediatric Certification for Personal Permits
Universal Citation: LA Admin Code XXXIII-1504
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. In order to receive a pediatric certification for a personal permit:
1. a
dentist shall have completed a pediatric or oral and maxillofacial surgery
advanced education program accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation
that provided training in the level of sedation allowed by the permit
requested; or
2. in addition to
completing the training requirements set forth in §1503, the dentist shall have
completed an additional training course consisting of 8 hours of didactic
pediatric sedation training specific to the level of the permit being sought
and 10 cases of pediatric sedation involving the highest level of sedation
allowed by the permit sought; or
3.
the training program meeting the requirements set forth in
§1503 was
pediatric-specific;
4. In addition
to the above requirements, in order to receive or renew a personal permit with
a pediatric certification, the licensee must provide proof of current
certification in pediatric life support (PALS), or its equivalent. The board
will only accept a PALS course which includes a practical component which is
personally attended. If a dentists practice is restricted to treating only
children under the age of 13, the PALS certification will suffice as a
substitute for the ACLS required in
§1503. E If a
dentists practice is not restricted to treating only children, in order to
receive a permit with a pediatric certification, both PALS and ACLS
certifications are required.
