Please join us for this highly practical course designed to enable primary care providers to develop skills in differential diagnoses for common orthopedic and rheumatologic issues in children who present in their office setting. Case-based scenarios will identify various presentations and strategies for initial workup and management, along with interactive discussion with the specialists to promote best practices and patient outcomes.

Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) is an education program of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association that teaches concepts and skills of neonatal resuscitation. Our learners study the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 7th Edition, 2016 and pass the online training prior to attending any NRP course. This allows most of the scheduled course time to be used for hands-on practice and simulation. Emphasis is placed on increasing self-efficacy, managing the unexpected and supporting the efforts and contributions of each team member.

The High-Risk NRP course provides more details and offers opportunity to practice advanced skills including intubation, medications and umbilical vein catheterization. In addition, the High-Risk NRP course offers simulation of complex situations like prematurity and congenital anomalies.
