The Neonatal Resuscitation Program™ (NRP) teaches the concepts and skills of neonatal resuscitation and is sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association. The course has been designed to teach an evidence-based approach to resuscitation of the newborn to hospital staff who care for newborns at the time of delivery, including physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists. This course is recommended for those that have experience in a birth setting or care for newborns in the immediate postpartum period. The 6th Edition, released in 2011, is based on simulation methodology, enhancing development of critical leadership, communication and team work skills. Providers are required to self-study the Textbook of Neonatal Resuscitation, 6th Edition, and complete the online examination through Health Stream within 30 days before attending a Provider Course. Instructor-learner contact is focused on interactive learning, immersive simulation, and constructive debriefing. The course consists of the Performance Skills Station, an Integrated Skills Station, and Simulation and Debriefing. • The Performance Skills Station provides an opportunity to practice or review technical hands-on resuscitation skills with instructor assistance. • The Integrated Skills Station allows the instructor to facilitate more than one scenario and evaluate the learner's readiness for simulation and debriefing. The instructor will not coach, assist, or interrupt during a scenario. * Simulation and Debriefing is now a required component of an NRP course. It provides team members with a safe setting in which to integrate cognitive and technical skills and focus on team communication and patient safety. While this course does not guarantee proficiency during an actual resuscitation, it lays the foundation of knowledge, technical skills, and teamwork and communication skills that enable participants to continue development of neonatal resuscitation skills.
