Tuesday, October 28, 2025, 8:00 AM - Wednesday, October 29, 2025, 12:00 PM, Nationwide Children's Hospital Conference Center, Columbus, OH


AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (7.25 hours), AAPA Credit(s) (7.25 hours), ANCC Contact Hour(s) (7.25 hours), IPCE Credit(s) (7.25 hours), Non-Physician Attendance (7.25 hours)

The Neonatal Simulation Conference is designed for delivery hospital and neonatal intensive care professionals. Participants will work in small group settings in immersive multidisciplinary patient care simulations focusing on care of the premature and ill neonate. In addition, the didactic sessions will give participants additional training on how to integrate simulation and debriefing into their practice setting as preceptors or educators.

This conference is intended for healthcare providers who provide care to newborns in the labor and delivery unit, newborn nursery and neonatal special/intensive care nursery, as well as those caring for newborns in a non-traditional setting.

1. Describe 2-3 simulation techniques that can be utilized for training healthcare providers who care for neonates.
2. Explain how to utilize simulation-based education to optimize neonatal outcomes by participating in simulated a series of patient care scenarios.
3. Discuss the qualities of highly effective resuscitation teams after participating in the resuscitation of a simulated infant patient.

When registering, you will be asked to rank the breakout sessions you would like to attend. Your preferences will be taken into consideration when assigning the sessions, but in order to guarantee that there is a balanced group in each session, we will assign participants into groups. This will be based on your input as well as your role (RN, MD/DO, RT, etc.) as well as the level of hospital you work at. Once the sessions are assigned, you are unable to switch to a different session.

Please double check your profile information is correct. This information will be used to place you in your breakouts, but also to ensure you receive the correct CE credit.

In support of improving patient care, Nationwide Children's Hospital is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC),  and the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), to provide continuing medical education for the healthcare team.
