Pigg  went on to say  " quality evidence based continuing education online, just makes sense, an increasing number of medical boards and most dental boards require providers to have continuing education on sedation administration if they are going to offer procedural sedation in the outpatient setting, who better to provide this continuing education than anesthesiologists."
