The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) is a nationally recognized training course designed for healthcare professionals who may be involved in the resuscitation of newborns, including physicians, nurses, midwives, and respiratory therapists.
The course combines online learning with hands-on, instructor-led simulation to teach the essential skills and systematic approach needed to manage newborns in distress. Emphasizing effective communication, teamwork, and evidence-based practices, NRP prepares participants to respond confidently and competently in high-pressure situations. This training is critical for improving outcomes in neonatal emergencies and ensuring the safest possible start for newborns.
