Online clinical education for infusion & vascular access

Clinical skills. Real confidence. Better care at the line.

Cathedra trains RNs, LPNs/LVNs, and NPs in peripheral IV, PICC, midline, central line, and port care — plus the infusions and complications that decide whether a shift goes smoothly. Interactive scenarios, not a passive video-plus-quiz.

Curriculum

What your team will actually practice.

Every course is structured as an interactive clinical experience — animated demonstrations, drag-and-drop device identification, branching scenario cases, a guided IV insertion walkthrough with step-by-step feedback, and a randomized final examination drawn from a large question bank.

Peripheral
Peripheral IV insertion

From vein selection and tourniquette timing to flashback confirmation and securing the line — a guided insertion walkthrough with step-by-step feedback.

Ultrasound
Ultrasound-guided vascular access

Probe orientation, in-plane vs. out-of-plane technique, and needle tip tracking on animated ultrasound windows — built for the modern bedside.

Central
PICC · midline · central line · port

Device selection by indication, dressing changes, cap swaps, lumen care, and removal — with drag-and-drop device identification that never lets you guess.

Infusions
Blood transfusion · IVIG · TPN

Pre-medication, infusion rate ramps, reaction recognition, and the vital-sign checkpoints that separate a routine infusion from a confident one.

Complications
Infiltration · extravasation · Cathflo

Branching scenario cases that test your first-five-minutes response when a line goes wrong — with corrective actions, not just identification.

Competency
Randomized final examination

Drawn from a large question bank, so repeat learners never see the same test twice — and competency validation stays distinct from a refresher.

How it works

From enrollment to documented competency — in four steps.

  1. Pick a course

    Individuals browse the library. Facilities assign curricula from one dashboard.

  2. Work the scenarios

    Animated demonstrations, device-ID drag-and-drop, branching case studies, and a guided insertion walkthrough — interactive, not passive video.

  3. Take the randomized exam

    Questions drawn from a large bank; ordering and content shift every attempt so repetition builds skill, not memorization.

  4. Document competency

    Certificates downloaded, expiration dates tracked, and an optional in-person skills session with an approved instructor added when the employer requires verified proficiency.

Two tiers, one product. Cathedra clearly distinguishes educational refreshers from competency validation. An optional in-person skills session with an approved instructor can be added for individuals and facilities that need verified proficiency.

For facilities & schools

A dedicated administrator dashboard — assign, track, document.

Skill the whole unit at once, not one clinician at a time. Cathedra's administrator dashboard keeps curricula, test scores, certificates, and expiration dates in one shared view.

  • Assign curricula across the team

    Onboard a class of new graduates or reassign annual refreshers to the entire unit in a single action.

  • Track scores and progress

    Every test score, attempt history, and certificate lives in one view — searchable by clinician, role, or unit.

  • Catch expiring certifications early

    A dashboard of upcoming expirations so you re-credential before a credential lapses, not after a survey finds it.

  • Export training records on demand

    Download complete training records for audits, accreditation, or incident review — formatted, dated, signed.
