The recently published New Jersey regulations on FEES require that the SLP:
- be trained in Basic Life Support
- complete a 12 hour seminar on FEES
- observe 10 FEES procedures
- perform 25 FEES procedures under supervision
- only perform FEES in a healthcare facility licensed by the Department of Health and Senior Services or in the offices of a physician who received training in endoscopic examination. This training could have been obtained during residency and the physician does not need to be an Otolaryngologist or Gastroenterologist
- only perform FEES when a physician who received training in endoscopic examination is present (does not need to be in the room but in sufficient proximity to respond to any emergency)
- only perform FEES upon written request of a physician
