Intravenous (IV) therapy is the process of putting sterile fluids or drugs into patients through a vein. The IVIT Certification Course is a hybrid course consisting of live webinar, on-demand recordings and a practical component to ensure that Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) have the competency to both safely and effectively administer a substance from Table 2 of the Naturopathy Act Ontario Regulation (168/15) by injection. In order to promote inter-professional collaboration between the Colleges of the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA), this is the first course in Ontario that trains NDs to practice IVIT under the instruction and tutelage of a nurse, pharmacist and NDs.   NDs will receive training to create unique solutions for injection, and prepare such products which require sterile compounding with the knowledge, skill and judgment and facilities necessary to ensure that the products are prepared in a non-contaminated environment, free of particulate matter. The improper compounding of sterile products can lead to serious consequences for patients in clinical and hospital settings. In the interest of protecting the public, NDs will be made aware of the importance of sterile technique, thorough patient screening, staff education, appropriate facilities, and proper monitoring to maintain the safety of products for patient care. This IV certification course is specifically designed for NDs. The course includes online lectures in IV techniques, anatomy, venipuncture, IV equipment, IV substances, documentation, patient education, emergency procedures and legal aspects of IV administration. Practical rotations, which give NDs practical applications using catheters, butterflies, IV lines and bags and a laminar airflow hood, are also part of the program. Students both observe others and perform IV insertions themselves. Graduates will be able to identify specific applications for IV therapy, and most importantly, to assess if a patient is suitable for IV therapy or it is contraindicated.
