Description: 

Our hospital, SMCS is one of the highest volume locations in the region for women with high-risk pregnancies and neonatal patients. Neonatal complications, fetal demise and maternal death are rare but serious outcomes that often have multifactorial causes. Rarely can all these causes be fully understood and appreciated without an interdisciplinary approach involving physicians, nurses, and other health professionals. The goal of this conference is to close the gap between physicians' current knowledge with discussion of current perinatal and neonatal conditions and treatments to generate discussions about how to manage patients and diseases so all physicians and healthcare professionals caring for these patients have the most updated knowledge.

Target Audience: 

Nurse Practitioner (NP)

Nurse, Registered (RN)

Physicians (MD or DO)
