The Golden Hour: From Delivery to Transport

Lake Buena Vista, FL US
July 15, 2026

This course empowers healthcare professionals with the critical skills needed to stabilize and resuscitate a newborn during the first 60 minutes of life, a period that can determine survival and long-term health.

With 35% of U.S. counties classified as maternity deserts and Florida earning a D+ rating for premature births in 2025, the need for competent care is urgent. Coupled with a nationwide shortage of neonatologists, pediatricians, advanced practice providers, and nurses, this training addresses a vital gap by equipping learners to act decisively and save lives when every second counts.

Target Audience

Neonatologists, Pediatricians, Newborn-Hospitalists, Physician Associates, Advanced Practitioners, Nurses, Students & Residents.

Space is limited for this program.

 Program Fees
Physician$150
Non-Physician$100
Student$100

Upon completion of this activity participants will be able to:

  • Demonstrate appropriate cardiopulmonary support techniques during the neonatal “golden hour,” applying evidence-based protocols to stabilize the patient.
  • Identify the most common forms of neonatal sepsis and explain their clinical significance and risk factors.
  • Evaluate the role of point-of-care ultrasound in guiding and confirming placement.
