About the PULSE Coalition

In order to strengthen efforts to promote safe laser use, ASDSA launched the PULSE (Patients/Physicians United for Laser Safety and Efficacy) Coalition to protect patients who undergo procedures that utilize laser and energy-based devices. Member organizations are dedicated to work with legislators and regulators to raise awareness about the dangers of laser and energy-based devices when performed without proper supervision or at the hands of inadequately trained personnel. 

Coalition members work to advocate and implement ASDSA’s PULSE model legislation that is designed to address the issue of non-physicians performing laser and energy-based device procedures without proper training and/or physician oversight.
