 IV Sedation Certification

Upcoming 2026 Clinical Dates: January, February March, April

The unique DOCS Training Program allows you to earn your IV Sedation permit primarily from home or office, satisfying moderate sedation requirements and protecting you from changing regulations.

You will complete 60 hours of didactic training—including ACLS and airway management on high-fidelity patient simulators, and 20 live-patient experiences with a 1-to-1 faculty-to-student ratio.

This elite collaboration with Idaho State University Department of Dental Sciences and Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry awards you 90 hours of CE credit toward your Master’s and Fellowship in the AGD.
