As a new OT in the NICU this was great information! I have an amazing and experienced mentor, but I loved gaining information from current research and sharing it with her as well!
I really enjoyed your style of teaching/presentation, including hands on, video and a complete handout. I appreciate the collaboration for all the disciplines. Continue the good work!
Excellent training experience: Presenters were so positive and it was evident that they have a contagious passion for giving the best care to our littlest humans. I feel empowered to better care for my patients and their families.
OMG! What an amazing day!! You were absolutely amazing and I appreciate everything you had to say. I learned so much today. I thought I was doing things correctly, but I learned today that I wasn’t.
Amazing and current literature resources and overall content!
Loved it – Loved your teaching style and knowledge. Thank you for sharing your passion with the world and making the NICU a better place! Wonderful course, wonderful presenter, wonderful experience! It’s very difficult to find an advanced course specifically for the NICU and this course delivered!!
This was an extremely helpful online education opportunity which gave me some great review as well as new insight into what I can bring to my NICU babes, parents, and other staff in my NICU. Thank you!
