Length Of Curriculum: The rotation runs over one month for each PGY-3.

Introduction: Resident physicians have teaching responsibilities during and after training.

Emergency Department Procedural Sedation Practice Limitations: A Statewide California American College of Emergency Physicians Survey.

Objectives: We wanted to estimate the frequency and describe the nature of emergency department (ED) procedural sedation restrictions in the State of California.

Methods: We surveyed medical directors for all licensed EDs statewide regarding limitations on procedural sedation practice. Our primary outcome was the frequency of restrictions on procedural sedation, defined as an inability to administer moderate sedation, deep sedation, and typical ED sedative agents in accordance with American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) guidelines.
