Register today for CSRT's hybrid Venipuncture Certification Course! After reviewing the 12 recordings and completing the 12 quizzes, students will meet with CSRT Instructor Jennifer Little at Tower Imaging Valencia in Valencia, California on Saturday, September 11, 2021.

This venipuncture workshop addresses all topics identified by the California Department of Public Health’s Radiologic Health Branch and by Senate Bill 1199 (Dutton 2012) to meet the requirements for venipuncture certification including:

  • (A) Anatomy and physiology of venipuncture sites.
  • (B) Venipuncture instruments, intravenous solutions, and related equipment.
  • (C) Puncture techniques.
