Who Needs a Sedation Update?

The Dental Sedation Update Program is designed for individuals that are currently certified and practicing dental sedation and require the update every 2 years. Dental Assistants are invited to attend the program so that they are aware of the sedation process and how to assist the dentist with the management of the patient. 

The program content will cover, but not limited to: Virginia guidelines addressing dental sedation, indication for the use of sedation medication, side effects, reversal agents, etc., Patient and A/W assessment, and several scenarios concerning the complicated case and potential challenges associated with the practice of sedation.

ACLS Re-Certification Information

Please plan to arrive on time because it will be difficult for late students to catch up once we start. Students are expected to attend and participate in the entire course.

How to Get Ready

The ACLS Provider Course is designed to teach you the lifesaving skills required to be both a team member and a team leader in either an in-hospital or an out-of-hospital setting. Because the ACLS Provider Course covers extensive material in a short time, you will need to prepare for the course beforehand.

Pre-Course Requirements

1. You should prepare for the course by doing the following: 

Review and understand the information in your ACLS Provider Manual .  

2. Ensure that your BLS skills and knowledge are current for the resuscitation scenarios. You

will be tested on adult high-quality BLS skills at the beginning of the ACLS Course. You

must know this in advance because you will not be taught how to do CPR or use an AED.

3. Review, understand, and complete the ECG and Pharmacology Pre-course Self-

Assessment on the AHA Student Website, ACCESS HYPERLINK HERE
