Description
This course is primarily intended for health care providers who insert central venous catheters (CVCs). There is a separate course available from Duke Infection Control Outreach Network (DICON) for nurses who are involved in the care and maintenance of CVCs.

The course consists of text, slides and video clips, post-test and evaluation form. The course has been updated to include MANDATORY and OPTIONAL sections. You will only have to complete the mandatory sections prior to taking the quiz to receive CE credits.

Continuing Education (CE) credit is available on completion of the Mandatory section of the course. Release Date: 7/28/2017; Review Date: 7/15/2022; End Date: 7/15/2024;
