The Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) introduces concepts and basic skills of neonatal resuscitation in an intensive all-day program. 


The program structure features a wide variety of learning techniques, including:

  1. Hands-On Skills Training: Dive into practical techniques that empower you to act swiftly and confidently during critical moments.

  2. Simulation-Based Learning: Immerse yourself in lifelike scenarios, where every decision matters. Sharpen your instincts and hone your reflexes.

  3. Debriefing with Experts: Meet with the neonatal resuscitation team to discuss and evaluate your skills.

This skill workshop will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of intrauterine devices (IUDs) available in Canada, including their characteristics, cost, and availability. Participants will learn to differentiate between the various types of IUDs, such as copper and hormonal options, and understand the appropriate indications for each, considering factors such as patient age, medical history, and reproductive goals. The workshop will also cover essential patient counselling techniques, focusing on how to inform patients about potential complications, such as infection or expulsion, as well as common side effects like changes in menstrual bleeding. Additionally, the session will include hands-on training in IUD insertion, with guidance on proper technique and strategies for managing difficult insertions to ensure safe and effective placement.
