The faculty at Hot Topics in Neonatology® will review current levels of evidence and practice in the areas of neonatology and perinatology. The program will include talks and discussion on the newest research on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of health problems in the neonate, as well as long-term follow-up for the NICU graduate. Hot Topics seeks to involve clinicians from around the globe in the debate around both existing and emerging therapies and neonatal science, with the goal of providing clinicians with implementable practice change.
