PICC insertion training programs that qualify clinicians to insert PICC line are often implied as PICC line insertion certification.

2-day classroom training for PICC insertion qualification consists of didactic,  one-on-one supervised practice session and testing. It is developed according to globally recognized infusion therapy standards of practice by the Infusion Nurses Society / INS. This unique comprehensive, small group, hands-on training teaches to insert PICC line and midline catheters with modified Seldinger technique (MST).

This 2-day training includes basics of ultrasound use. If the student already feels comfortable with using an ultrasound to locate vessels, the 1-day PICC/midline training can also be an option.

Upon successful completion of the 2-day PICC line insertion training, attendees obtain a certificate of completion. Attendees may commence supervised insertion and competency validation in any clinical settings according to the facility’s policy and procedures.

Prerequisites:

• Attendees require knowledge of fundamentals of infusion therapy, peripheral catheter insertion skills and be proficient in use, care and maintenance of PICC line and midline catheters. (If you do not have knowledge and experience in IV infusion therapy, we recommend to take 20-hr IV Therapy Course for RNs prior to PICC line insertion training.
