Services

Since 2003, our multidisciplinary outreach team: 

  • Offers on-site training to enable local healthcare professionals to stabilize critically ill newborns and learn how to care for these children upon their return from the MCH neonatal intensive care unit. 
  • Offers interdisciplinary training with physicians, nurses and respiratory therapists 
  • Creates personalized programs and curriculums designed to meet the specific needs of the team requesting it 
  • Organizes NRP (Neonatal Resuscitation Program) and ACoRN (Acute Care of at-Risk Newborns) training both locally and at the MCH 

Team

Our team consists of neonatologists, nursing educators and respiratory therapist educators with specialized training in outreach and simulation education. Thanks to its skills and simulation equipment, our team is able to offer in-situ simulation and workshops tailored to the needs of referring centers.
