Tamper resistant receptacles

[MichaelJ]

Are tamper resistant receptacles required in the exam room in a doctor office/local health department?

Good question. I think that only the waiting rooms would need TR receptacles. I may be mistaken though.

Is it pediadrics? 2020 ?

It is a local health dept, will have both adults and pediatrics. 2017

IMO, if you have pediatrics available then TR is needed. For the cost difference I would use them if I wasn't certain.
