How do I get CVC Privileges?
Each learner needing CVC privileges must complete the required online modules via the UW Medicine LMS system prior to coming in to complete the simulation. These are administrered by the Office of Medical Staffing Affairs (OMSA). If you have questions about the modules, please contact OMSA directly at omsa@uw.edu.
Once the modules are complete, trainees will schedule and complete a simulation-based CVC Testing session at WISH.
How do I schedule a CVC Testing session?
WISH encourages individuals in need of privilege testing to first identify someone in their own department to serve as proctor. The proctor will be responsible for walking you through the testing checklist and ensuring that everything is done correctly. Please note: WISH does not provide testing proctors.
Eligible proctors must meet the following criteria:
From the same department as the individual in need of (re)testing.
The proctor's own CVC privileges must be current.
The proctor is of equal or higher training than the individual undergoing testing. For example, a fellow cannot serve as a proctor to an attending.
As soon as you are able to secure a proctor, please schedule your testing session with WISH via the request form below. Please allow 48 hours lead time for scheduling and coordination.
