Wisconsin Newborn Screening (NBS) Program: An Introduction
Webcast
0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ ...OVERVIEW
Wisconsin Newborn Screening (NBS) Program: An Introduction is organized by UW-Madison Interprofessional Continuing Education Partnership (ICEP).
Registration Opens: 11/17/2022
Course Expires: 11/16/2025
Description:
Did you know? Not all parents/guardians are notified of their infants' NBS results and/or needed referrals that were made/completed. This puts infants at risk. This activity is intended for pediatric clinicians who wish to improve their understanding of the NBS process, NBS rates, communication of NBS results with parents/guardians, and making appropriate referrals. This activity was created by geneticists, genetic counselors, pediatricians, public health representatives, and parents.
Learning Objectives:
Participants completing this CME module will be able to:
- Describe the Wisconsin Newborn Screening (NBS) program – what conditions are included and how conditions are added to the panel.
- Provide education to families about the NBS process and the difference between a screen and a diagnostic test.
- Define possible NBS results, identify when further action is required, and identify resources for providers and families.
- Communicate with families about NBS results and the next steps following abnormal and possible abnormal NBS results.
