Intravenous (IV) catheterization is a fundamental clinical skill expected of all medical graduates. However, limited opportunities for real-patient practice and variability in training methods often lead to inconsistent procedural competence. This study aimed to evaluate the learning curve associated with IV catheterization and identify factors associated with successful performance. A secondary objective was to analyze each procedural step in detail to inform future educational strategies. int
