The course participant must be listed on the anesthesia record, administer the drugs, and document the administration and physiologic findings on the anesthesia record;

(4) The course includes clinical experience in the management of the compromised airway and establishment of intravenous access;

(5) The course is directed by a dentist or physician qualified by experience and training, including the following:

(B) The course director holds a current permit or license to administer general anesthesia and deep sedation or moderate sedation in at least one state;

(C) The course director has at least three years of experience administering general anesthesia and deep sedation or moderate sedation, including formal postdoctoral residency training in anxiety and pain control;

(7) The course includes a mechanism for the course participant to evaluate the performance of individuals presenting the course material, a summary of which is maintained and available for review;

(8) The course provides additional clinical experience if the course participant has not achieved competency within the time allotted for the course; and

(9) The course director certifies the competency of a course participant in each moderate sedation technique, including instruction, clinical experience, managing the airway, intravascular or intraosseous access, and reversal drugs, before the course participant is issued documentation verifying successful completion of the course.

The board shall conduct a review of moderate sedation courses annually and may only approve courses that have submitted documentation necessary to verify that the course requirements outlined in this rule have been met. A course director may be required to participate in an interview as part of the course review, before a course will be approved.
