On or after September 1, 2019, a permit holder may not administer sedation/anesthesia under a level 2, level 3, or level 4 permit to a high-risk or pediatric patient unless the permit holder has completed the requirements and has received authorization from the Board to administer sedation/anesthesia to high-risk or pediatric patients.
Should you need this authorization added to your license, please submit the application following the instructions below. Upon Board approval, a letter will be mailed out for your records and at your next renewal the endorsement will be reflected on your renewal certificate.
There is no additional fee for this endorsement.
