MLR Birth Center Training - Greenville, South Carolina

The AABC Birth Center Focused Midwifery Led Resusitation Training is based on the belief that all midwives and birth assistants deserve to have thorough training that gives them muscle-memory and confidence. We support the NRP philosophy of all learners doing all modules as beneficial to the team overall and to the family. 

This all-day course will feature skills stations that focus on repeated practice of initial steps, ventilation, and compressions until muscle memory is well-developed for these skills.  All aspects of NRP will be covered in the skills stations, including use of NeoTee (t-piece) resuscitators, CPAP administration, LMA placement, intraosseus IV access, and cord catheterization.  The instructors will also help your staff navigate introduction of T-piece resuscitators and other possible new skills to your birth center and practice all scenarios in ways you would be likely to encounter in out of hospital birth.  

Our goal is for each learner to feel confident with both ventilation and the advanced skills.  At the end of the hands-on course and required evaluations every learner will have access to their NRP eCard which is good for 2 years.
