This initial course will delve into key topics such as the NAME index, specific challenges in the NICU, diverse conditions treated with osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and considerations for varying gestational ages. This hands-on course aims to empower participants with practical skills and theoretical knowledge to enhance the care provided to infants in the NICU and outside the hospital in a transformative, clinical- and research-based learning experience at the intersection of osteopathic medicine and neonatal care.
