NBS – 12th International Newborn Brain Conference Series:
The 12th International Newborn Brain Conference will go ahead as a series of novel webinars, in collaboration with the Newborn Brain Society. This conference has always aimed to provide a state-of-the-art forum for the discussion of current research and clinical care in newborn brain monitoring and neuroprotection. The lineup of speakers and faculty are world leaders in newborn brain research and we are excited to be able to bring this conference back to life in light of all the challenges we have had with a global pandemic. We will be holding webinars every week on Thursdays at 12 PM EST from January 14th – June 10th, 2021, and we will offer 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit for physicians and 1 continuing nursing education contact hour for nursing NBS members who attend each live webinar. We will be advertising each individual session, as well as the whole series, throughout the next few months.
Please note, each session will be recorded and available for NBS members to view on our member portal. Become a member today!
