LPCH Newborn Nursery Curriculum
Clinical Rotations for Residents
Many of the items on this list are also part of the AAP newborn Nursery Core Curriculum. However, we have tailored these items to exclude experiences obtained elsewhere (prenatal visit and infant resuscitation) and have expanded some items we feel deserve special attention. Wherever possible, links to sources with more information on a topic are included.
