Description
The annual NANT Conference is the only one of its kind in the world. It serves an international group of neonatal OTs, PTs, and SLPs in order to advance the specialized knowledge and skills required to work in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
The conference allows attendees to experience leading-edge presentations on a range of neonatal therapy topics, interact with exhibitors who supply products and services to the field, and network with colleagues from around the globe
Attendees can access professional posters where colleagues can view findings and interact with presenters.
In summary- the NANT Conference has six key elements:
- CE credit upon completion for OT, PT, SLP
- 3- day International Conference
- Virtual Exhibits
- Professional Posters
- Sponsor Related Offerings
- Networking Opportunities
Objectives
The overall objectives of the conference are:
- Define the current state of evidence for neonatal therapy-related interventions in the NICU.
- Describe evidence-based feeding practices and innovations for the neonatal population.
- List strategies to improve family-centered care in the NICU.
- Discuss NICU interventions that support infant neuroprotection and neurodevelopment.
- Identify program components for optimizing therapy following NICU discharge.
