I was teaching traditional classroom I.V. Educationand saw the many obstacles of this traditional type of education: getting the nurses to the course, expense, travel, schedule difficulties, different learning styles and paces. It occurred to me that there had to be a better way to provide these nurses the didactic portion of I.V. education in a capacity that met THEIR needs. My husband (and CTO) has over 28 years of experience in software and database architecture, and website management. So we dreamed up Pedagogy-which means "the art and science of teaching"and we were off! It is a great misconception that all there is to I.V. education is how to insert a cathetertake one of our courses and you will soon realizethere is a lot of knowledge a nurse must have to deliver infusion therapy to their patients safely.

We specialize in I.V. Therapy Education and Wound Care Education. We offer accredited courses to individual nurses, Long Term Care Facilities, Home Health Agencies, and Hospitals.
