Section XXXIII-1504 - Pediatric Certification for Personal PermitsA. 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; or2. 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; or3. 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.La. Admin.
