Diploma in Basic Neonatal Hemodynamics
Program Description:
A special training program designed for all health care providers in Pediatrics and Neonatology to optimize their basic skills in Neonatal Hemodynamics and how to apply in their neonatal practice.
The program consists of following steps.
Step 1: Enrolment in designated courses assigned to this diploma program (listed below). Participants must satisfactorily complete these mandatory prerequisite courses.
Step 2: Participants must get enrolled in any assigned workshops in Basic Neonatal Hemodynamics (assigned below)
Step 3: Enrolment to the Diploma Program by online payment. Once enrolled, Neopeds Academy will assign a faculty mentor to the participant who would be constantly in touch with the participant through Email.
Step 4: The candidate would start documenting their hemodynamic encounters as well as start saving all of their basic echocardiograms performed in their NICU at their local computer system. It is the responsibility of the participant to de-identify the patient information before saving to their local system adhering to their local institutional policies on patient privacy.
Step 5: Once a month, the assigned faculty mentor would meet the candidate online through Zoom, screen sharing and would review all the cases, echo studies done by the candidate. In real-time the faculty mentor would be giving feedback on technical skills, interpretation and reporting skills of each scan submitted for review. Also faculty would submit a monthly evaluation to the candidate and to Neopeds Academy Diploma program committee on candidate's monthly performance.
Step 6: At the end of 6 months period, the candidate must complete 20 Case scenarios with basic echocardiogram studies, reviewed by Neopeds Faculty Mentor securing more than 75% of the time scores of 4 out of 5 in knowledge, technical and Interpretation skills of assessments performed.
Step 7: Exit Exam: Online Assessment Exam with 20 case scenarios (with real case recorded clips). Securing 75% in the exit exam would finally make them eligible to receive the Diploma certificate provided from Neopeds Academy.
Please Note: Program Length is strictly 6 months. Neopeds Academy will not be held responsible for candidates unable to achieve the number of case submissions set within this time frame. If Candidate is unable to complete the desired number of cases within the set program duration, he or she would then need to re-purchase the mentorship program for the next 6 months by paying the full cost.
