Target audience This conference is intended for professionals working with infants and families in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Course description Providing care for an infant in the NICU requires a multi-disciplinary approach and often, the lines of communication can be blurred, impacting the treatment of the infant. This collaborative conference will serve to further unite the different disciplines (medical, social work, rehab, nursing, case managers, etc.) working with these infants and create a more cohesive environment for treatment of the infant in the NICU. This activity strives to further educate and empower the above professionals working in the NICU on several key subjects that impact overall neurodevelopment: impact of the NICU on the infant and family, nurturing that infant/family relationship through the stress of a NICU stay, pain reduction, lactation and human milk feeding, and handling/positioning of the infant with fragile bones.
Course objectives At the conclusion of the conference, the participant will be better able to:
