We base our training programs on standards and guidelines published by the leading organizations that guide the practice of infusion therapy, vascular access device insertion and care, and phlebotomy techniques in the U.S.A. These organizations are listed below.

In addition we regularly review current events and trends in vascular access and infusion therapy and update our training programs. For the convenience of users of our site, access to many IV-related resources are provided on our site. See our IV Links page which details topics in IV therapy and vascular access from "A to Z" (click here to go to page). From here you may view current FDA videos posted on our site, listen to CDC podcasts, and link to many other national (U.S.) and international organizational resources in the form of files, and websites.
