Never miss a central venous line or arterial line again after you have completed this course! After completing this self-directed online course you will be able to perform ultrasound guided central venous and peripheral arterial catheter insertion, increasing the success rate, reducing the time taken and reducing the chance of complications

 

Students get the opportunity to practice their skills on a simulator at our facilities at the University of Melbourne Ultrasound Simulation Centre between 8 am - 4 pm Monday to Thursday.

 

Designed For

Suitable for all health care workers who perform central venous (including PICC) and peripheral arterial cannulation.
