Pediatric PICC Qualification Training

Prepare for PICC Placement in Pediatric Patients

Pediatric PICC education begins with understanding the child as well as the procedure. This course examines the developmental, anatomical, and procedural considerations that shape PICC placement for children, including neonatal and infant insertion examples.

Follow a structured learning sequence that connects patient preparation with technique and complication recognition. Attention to comfort, distraction, and supervised practice helps clinicians plan a learning pathway suited to pediatric care.

What You Will Learn

• Growth, development, and pediatric vein anatomy
• Patient preparation, premedication considerations, and child-life distraction
• PICC insertion techniques and procedural demonstrations
• Complication recognition and appropriate intervention

From Coursework to Supervised Practice

Complete the four course sections and the 50-question post-test, then use the continuing education certificate to document your learning. Arrange supervised simulation followed by supervised patient insertions, using the included practicum competency materials with a preceptor or supervisor. The program recommends at least five supervised insertions, with further practice and assessment according to learner needs; a number alone does not establish competency.

Learning Resources and Completion

A downloadable manual is included for continued reference. Complete the coursework and achieve a score of at least 80% on the post-test to receive continuing education credit.

Who Should Attend

Pediatric nurses, physicians, vascular access clinicians, and educators preparing for supervised pediatric PICC practice.
