CVC Overview 15 min	CVC training is designed to rapidly orient physicians to a standard method for central venous catheter (CVC) placement into the superior vena cava. CVC placement is a skill that all physicians who care for acutely ill patients will find useful. MoreLess While CVC has a number of indications, it also presents significant risks for the patient during catheter insertion and while the catheter is in use. To help improve outcomes of CVC placement, UW Medicine and ISIS (Institute for Surgical and Interventional Simulation) have devised a program for physicians, with three parts: Two (2) Online Courses, offered on the UW Medicine Learning Management System (LMS) Hands-on Simulations, performed at the Institute for Simulation and Interprofessional Studies (ISIS), and Required supervised procedures. CVC Overview is the first of the two (2) online courses developed to orient physician learners to the best practices and key procedural steps in CVC placement. CVC Overview is also intended for the nurse audience. The Learning Gateway group makes this online course available through the UW Medicine Learning Management System.	Go to module
