Are you ready to take the next step on your EMS provider journey?  

The Basics:

This course is for current EMTs with at least 1 year of experience who would like to expand their knowledge and skillset to become EMT/IV Technicians.

During this course, you will have the following requirements:

  1. Complete a 8-hour emergency department clinical rotation at Mason General Hospital
  2. Complete a 8-hour field rotation with an EMS agency.
  3. A total of 12 IVs starts with supporting documentation.

A student must complete 12 successful IV starts to complete this course. The first few of these will be completed on IV mannequins. Additional LIVE starts will be on your fellow classmates in labs during class sessions. You will be provided with all proper sanitizing equipment under the care of a qualified instructor or a course-approved paramedic.
