The American Academy of Pediatrics encourages hospitals with obstetrical or neonatal services to implement the Neonatal Resuscitation Program.
Requirements to become an NRP instructor
- NRP Provider Card
- Physician, registered nurse, nurse practitioner, respiratory care practitioner, or physician assistant with experience in delivery-room care of newborns
- Current maternal-child educational or clinical responsibility in a hospital setting
- Ongoing delivery room experience (recommended)
You can now complete instructor classes through AAP online. The course requires you to co-teach two classes with a NRP mentor after self-study, and complete the two student/provider exams, the instructor exam, and the e-simulation cases. We can provide mentorship opportunities and help design and implement your NRP program at your institution.
