Course Description

Announcing our new and improved IVIT Certification Course! Thanks to our partnership with the Centre of Excellence in Integrative Medicine, all lecture-style course content is now online and on-demand for your convenience.

The IVIT Certification Course is designed to ensure Naturopathic Doctors have the competency to safely and effectively compound sterile products for IV administration, obtain vascular access, and administer IV infusion therapeutics to patients. Both lecture-style and hands-on practice in vascular access and sterile compounding are included.

To pass this course, participants must complete all online content and quizzes, successfully complete 10 vascular insertions, complete osmolarity exercises and demonstrate proficiency in sterile compounding. To become IVIT-Certified in Ontario, you must pass this course and CONO's IVIT Exam.
