Neonatal and Pediatric Respiratory Care

This course covers the normal and pathophysiological events that affect the cardiopulmonary status of the fetus, infant, and child. Students study fetal development, the nature and physiology of neonatal and pediatric pathology, and the application of this information in the clinical setting. Neonatal resuscitation and advanced pediatric life support certifications are attained. Clinical rotations will allow students to acquire practical skills in critical care, pulmonary rehabilitation, neonatal, pediatrics, and other specialty areas. Students correlate theoretical principles to practical applications.
