members of Iranian National Resuscitation Committee and who are active in NRP training in different
Medical Universities in Iran. The participants will be selected through a written exam prior to the training.
The workshop venue (2 Educational hospitals) will be prepared for simulation based NRP session where
the standard equipment for neonatal resuscitation will be provided by the hospital. Briefing, debriefing
and simulation techniques would be studied throughout these activities.
