OB/Neonate Module
The CALS OB/Neonate Module is designed to help nurses and other healthcare personnel level up their care for obstetrical and neonatal patients, providing them with an interactive opportunity to hone critical life-saving skills.
This eight-hour learning opportunity offers a unique learning experience for nurses and healthcare personnel to sharpen skills and enhance their abilities to provide emergency care for obstetrical and neonatal patients.
