Instructor Course with Cardiac Module Program Overview Every year, thousands of babies require specialized care because they are born prematurely or unexpectedly sick. Healthcare providers often have limited experience or knowledge in the care of these sick babies. To improve care for these vulnerable patients, an innovative educational program called S.T.A.B.L.E. has been implemented, not only in the U.S., but also globally. The S.T.A.B.L.E. program is designed to address care during the post-resuscitation/pre-transport stabilization period. Presented by expert clinicians in a didactic/interactive format, S.T.A.B.L.E. is a concise, directive tool to help organize the myriad details and interventions necessary to provide initial care to sick or premature infants. Who Should Attend? An ideal instructor is a neonatal intensive care unit expert with an interest in teaching who is a neonatal nurse practitioner, neonatal/ perinatal outreach educator, clinical nurse specialist, neonatal transport nurse, neonatologist or experienced neonatal nurse. Instructor Classifications and Qualifications Instructor Courses are designed to prepare Lead Instructors for local or regional implementation.
