This course is designed for Radiologic Technologists in the Imaging Department who need to start an IV for contrast injection. The course will consist of a didactic portion and skill practice after lecture materials are covered. The lecture will include: patient vital signs, patient screening, selecting a site and IV insertion, New York State Law as it applies to Radiographers, contrast reactions and other topics. The skill portion will include practice on an Advanced IV insertion arm and one stick on another classmate.
New York State law and application requires a physician sign the technologist's application for certification. There are no physicians employed by the program to sign the application. You should bring this information to your Lead Radiologist or whoever signs IV certification applications in your facility to ensure they will accept the course and approve your application for signature. Each facility is different and might require additional sticks or other activities before they sign, so make sure you ask.
Only registered Radiologic technologist may apply.
