Difficult Intra Venous Access studies. Participants attend our training to get hands-on scanning with phantoms where the ultrasound faculty teach essential skills and techniques to perform exams that make a difference in patient outcomes by demonstrating deep vein thrombosis or need for an intervention that can be done under ultrasound guidance. Our UGVA class offers not only the skills training but CME for physicians and CE for nurses.
