1. ABSTRACT
Confidence in intravenous (IV) catheter placement is a lifesaving skill that has been shown to be lacking in many interns [1, 2]. Our program aims to combine lectures, simulation and clinical practice to train medical students (MSs) in IV skills placement and ensure that the next generation of interns feel better equipped to manage IV placement.
