On the job training.
 

More times than not a tech student places IVCs with the guided assistance of an LVT. Tech students can school online but are provided on the job training. This is no different than experienced assistants. With the guided instruction from a DVM and/or LVT I don’t see why an IVC cannot be placed by an experienced assistant. With the increase of patient load this could be helpful.
