Professional Medical Skills Training for Future Healthcare Providers
This venipuncture practice kit introduces the art and science of intravenous (IV) techniques, IV injections, and blood sampling. The training allows students to practice and master these essential skills in a controlled environment before encountering real patients. The included Venipuncture Trainer provides a realistic simulation of clinical phlebotomy procedures with an authentic feel when the needle penetrates the vein.
The illustrated hands-on course (viewable online here) guides students through 30+ step-by-step projects using all the authentic medical items included in this kit. Five true-story case studies demonstrate key principles in real-world contexts.
What You'll Learn
Upon completion of The Apprentice Doctor® Venipuncture Course, students will develop understanding of basic principles of sterility and asepsis, items and procedures for performing venipuncture and setting up IV lines, fundamental principles of phlebotomy, techniques for drawing venous, arterial, and capillary blood, various injection types including local and regional anesthetic injections, IV line setup techniques and principles, and taking and understanding medical history before invasive procedures.
This course provides hands-on training in essential venipuncture, phlebotomy, and IV techniques including collecting capillary blood, drawing venous blood (various techniques), drawing arterial blood, giving subcutaneous injections, giving intramuscular injections, setting up IV lines, collecting laboratory samples, and injecting local anesthetics. The course also covers basic information regarding non-blood specimens received by medical technology labs (such as urine, sputum, and pus) and teaches recognition and management of common and uncommon venipuncture complications.
