Sedation Program

BCCOHP’s sedation and general anesthesia program was created to support safe provision of sedation and general anesthesia (GA) services in BC. All oral health professionals who provide sedation or GA services in BC, and the non-hospital based facilities in which they operate, must comply with the requirements of this program.

The sedation and general anesthesia program has three main components:

• Compliance
• Assessments
• Authorization of Sedation & GA Services (Registration of Qualifications)
