Promotion of normal newborn care is detailed in a comprehensive course that discusses the assessment parameters, normal findings, the “why” behind the physiology, and potential common complications. An emphasis is placed on understanding the patient’s prenatal history, and how the antenatal course affects newborn outcomes. From initial assessment upon birth to normal postpartum care, we cover normalcy and well beyond. Screening for critical abnormal conditions such as Critical Congenital Heart Defect, Coarctation of the Aorta, Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn, Neonatal Hypoglycemia, GBS Sepsis, and Physiologic versus Pathologic Jaundice are reviewed based on practical application and a deep understanding of the physiologic process.
Before applying to any L&D or Postpartum position, this type of course will be crucial for you to have under your belt!
