Since 1987, the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) teaches hospital staff how to resuscitate newborns. Jointly sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, NRP takes an evidence-based approach when teaching nurses, respiratory therapists, and physicians. NRP provides training to physicians both in the US and around the world.

Within its training program, the NRP incorporates simulations that combine training in effective communication, teamwork, constructive debriefing, and clinical skills practice. Through simulation videos, the NRP highlights behavioral skills that are important when working with newborns. In order to ensure that the information it provides is up-to-date, the Neonatal Resuscitation Program Steering Committee participates in a variety of science-based organizations, in addition to supporting the NRP Research Grant program.
