Program Description: 

Review key principles of neonatal physiology and pathophysiology and their relevance to clinical care in the newborn nursery and NICU. Emphasis will be placed on recognizing abnormal physiologic changes in newborns and understanding how these processes may lead to conditions requiring NICU evaluation or management. 

Target audience: 
  • Physicians
  • Nurse Practitioners
  • Fellows
  • Students/Residents
Learning objectives: 
Participants who engage in this educational intervention will be able to:
 
•    Collaborate principles of neonatal physiology and pathophysiology to the clinical assessment and management of common conditions encountered in term and preterm newborns.
•    Evaluate strengths and limitations of evidence-based practices guiding the care of hospitalized newborns and the education of providers in neonatal medicine.
•    Identify clinical indications for escalation of care from the newborn nursery to the NICU, including recognition of physiologic instability and conditions requiring higher-level neonatal support.
