DICON is pleased to offer member institutions access to the online training course, "Insertion of Central Venous Catheters ," developed at Duke University Hospital. This course has been used continuously at Duke Hospital since 2001 to train residents in techniques of proper placement and management of central lines. The course is accredited for 2.25 hrs. of Category I CME credit. Please note that this course is not intended to replace hands-on, mentored training.

 

Important Announcement-- We have recently upgraded the CVC on-line training course to include new educational materials and videos that focus on ultrasound guidance for CVC placement.  Please visit the website for the CVC on-line training course and review these new materials.

 

DICON produced six videos in high-definition (HD) format using professional actors/actresses. These videos, which range in length from 3-5 minutes, are focused on preventing infections in the hospital.  These videos are available for distribution to hospitals, surgery centers and other healthcare facilities that provide patient care services.  We believe these videos are excellent educational materials for orientation of new employees and for use in the credentialing process of existing healthcare workers.  To learn more about these exciting videos and how your healthcare facility can benefit from the use of these videos, please visit   "Stopping the Spread" website.
