Our Current Concepts in Neonatal Care conference will present an array of topics pertinent to health care professionals who care for the tiniest and most fragile of infants. Interventions and technologies continue to change in this field and those involved need current evidence-based and practical information to provide optimal care. Updates in the management of early nutritional support; brain development and respiratory dilemmas; jaundice; and legal dilemmas will be presented at this conference, as well as many other key issues in neonatal care. The primary goal of this conference is to increase knowledge and enhance the competence of attendees. Emphasis will be placed on practical application of the evidence-based topics presented. Topics for this year’s conference have been selected based on the educational needs determined from the identified professional practice gaps derived from a variety of sources including evaluations and outcomes data from past participants; clinical expert input; Symposia Medicus’ online survey; and other medical and nursing data. Conference format will include didactic lectures, smaller group breakout sessions, case studies, and question and answer sessions. An outstanding faculty has been assembled for this conference. Each member was selected based on their individual area of expertise and ability to communicate current, evidence-based and practical information to participants. You are sure to enjoy our Current Concepts in Neonatal Care conference while sharing ideas and experiences with colleagues from across the country in the beautiful setting of the Napa Valley.
