As I presented personally at the public comment meeting, I believe that proctored procedures done on live patients are an essential safety measure and should be included in this legislation.

Approximately 80% of difficulties in performance of the included procedures are due to patient movement, body habitus and active resistance.  You can not replicate these things with an eye model or computer program.  

For the safety of Patients in the Commonwealth, proctored procedures on live patients must be a part of the regulations.
