More About the Basic Intravenous Workshop Course Requirements

  • Demonstrated excellent working knowledge of sterile procedure.
  • Submission of a plan describing detailed procedures to be followed and the role of staff members in case of an emergency situation.

    • The purpose of the Basic IV Course is to give you the knowledge and skills to confidently administer intravenous therapy. It’s a step-by-step procedure from the S in SOAP to post treatment assessment and discharge from the clinic. There will be opportunity to discuss some details of administering vitamins and a few homeopathics, but this course is about procedure, not protocol. You will need to read, research and talk with other practitioners to decide what protocols you will offer and what are best for your patients.
    There will be discussion of intramuscular injections for participants not already proficient in this skill. You will learn where to shop for best prices in IV materials.
