This course has been designed to teach an evidence-based approach to resuscitation of the newborn. The causes, prevention, and management of mild to severe neonatal asphyxia are carefully explained so that health professionals may develop optimal knowledge and skill in resuscitation.

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program™ is an educational program that introduces the concepts and basic skills of neonatal resuscitation. Completion of the program does not imply that an individual has the competence to perform neonatal resuscitation. Each hospital is responsible for determining the level of competence and qualifications required for someone to assume clinical responsibility for neonatal resuscitation.

A comprehensive instructional textbook, which includes an interactive multi-media DVD-ROM, forms the basic educational component of the program.

How to Complete the NRP Program

1. Complete the online theory examination.

• Register for the online exam at  http://www.aap.org/nrp/

• Pass the minimum mandatory lessons (1-4 and 9).  Some providers are required to take lessons 5-8 based on their scope of practice and institutional responsibilities.
• Bring a copy of the exam verification form to the skills session and give to the NRP instructor.

2. Complete the live skills evaluation.
