NEONATAL RESUSCITATION PROGRAM PROVIDER COURSE

The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) is an educational program that introduces the concepts and skills of neonatal resuscitation. In Canada, NRP is administered by the Canadian Paediatric Society and is designed to teach individuals and teams who may be required to resuscitate newborn babies.  


Certification is valid for two years (one year for registered midwives), and providers are expected to stay current with NRP guidelines and recognize their professional scope.


At NEST, we deliver the NRP course through hands-on, interdisciplinary learning, helping providers build the skills needed in real-life situations.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Our Provider Courses are standardized and delivered in accordance with the most current NRP guidelines.  It is intentionally designed to mirror the realities of neonatal resuscitation: time-critical decision-making and seamless interprofessional collaboration. 


Interdisciplinary by design

Learners and instructors come from multiple professional backgrounds, mirroring real teams. Instructors are intentionally assigned to skills stations that align with their clinical expertise, ensuring focused, relevant teaching.


Immersive, in-person format (8 hours)

Our standardized structure prioritizes hands-on practice, repetition, and progressively complex scenarios, without lectures or passive content.
