Northwestern Perinatal Center Course Information and Schedules
Educational Services
One of the primary functions of the Perinatal Center is to coordinate professional educational
opportunities within the network to promote quality maternal and child health care. Medical
education is an integral component of the joint mortality and morbidity reviews provided by
the center. The center staff will make every effort to respond to all additional requests for
medical education.
The center establishes, coordinates, and maintains a yearly calendar of educational program-
ming for perinatal nurses including courses on basic fetal monitoring, breastfeeding support,
neonatal resuscitation, and maternal and neonatal assessment and stabilization for transport.
Additional programming is planned in response to the changing needs of the network. Tuition
fees are charged to participants so that courses will be financially self-sustaining.
