This half-day virtual conference designed for nurses and dietitians in the US delivers practical guidance for infants from newborn to post-discharge. Sessions explore neonatal skin care standards, responding to rising acuity of the breastfeeding dyad, nutrition transitions for NICU infants at and after discharge, cultivating psychological safety to elevate team communication, and delivering respectful care in the NICU amid substance use disorder—plus panel Q&As and closing remarks.
At the conclusion of the program, participants are encouraged to complete a survey in order to receive a certificate of participation for continuing education credit hours.
