NICUniversity Mission Statement
The NICUniversity mission is to be an educational and informational resource for neonatologists and other members of the neonatology health care team. We deliver the highest quality information designed to stimulate critical thinking and analysis of the current issues and trends in neonatology.
NICUniversity delivers:
Access to lectures by internationally recognized expert faculty.
CME/CE on topics that can improve patient management and outcomes.
Timely and relevant, unbiased, and balanced educational information critical to the care of neonatal patients.
NICUniversity is a Web-based medical education center for Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, and Pharmacists. We offer continuing education credits through the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME).
At NICUniversity, we are dedicated to the continuing education of the neonatology community, where neonatal professionals can explore the latest issues and findings in neonatology.
Continuing Education (CME/CE)
The CME/CE Courses at NICUniversity are provided through an online lecture format, easily accessed from your computer. The lectures feature internationally recognized medical experts in the neonatology field. The lectures are approximately 60 minutes in length, and each one completed can earn our registered members up to 1 CE credit. Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, and Pharmacists can all earn continuing educational credits at NICUniversity.
