This 4-hour skills course is designed to provide healthcare and dental personnel basic knowledge of IV insertion techniques and site maintenance, basic phlebotomy skills and injection techniques. In addition the curriculum will cover safety in drug calculations.

Using task trainers in the MAHEC Simulation Center, attendees will learn successful and skillful techniques to properly insert an intravenous catheter, basic phlebotomy, injection practices, and how to minimize patient discomfort and complications. This will result in improved learner confidence and an increase in first-stick success rates. Includes classroom and patient simulation experience.

The class will cover current standards of practice and legal aspects related to these skills within an individual's scope of practice.

Audience

Medical Assistants, LPNs, RNs, Paramedics, Dental Assistants, Dental Hygienists, and Pharmacists
