Phase II On-Line Education
The On-Line Education is designed to further your knowledge in a vast array of neonatal topics ranging from brain
and sensory development to the lymphatic system. The education allows you to develop an improved
understanding of the developing premature infant, as well as the significant impact the environment and a variety
of caregiving activities have on the infant. The topics are presented in a pre-recorded webinar format from neonatal
experts around the United States and Canada. Most of the presenters have completed the research, provided
literature, or lectured nationally on their topic. The course takes 16.27 hours to complete, requires an 80% on-line
test score following each webinar, and completion of course evaluation. No partial credit is available and learners
must register for NTMC to participate.

The Hands-On Training is the final phase to complete NTMC. This phase focuses on integrating knowledge to adapt
daily care, while developing hands-on skills needed for advanced neonatal practice. You will develop a more in-
depth understanding of preterm and term infant development and how your touch, handling, treatment, and
caregiving can alter that development. Videos will be utilized to sharpen your observation and assessment skills.
Specific techniques related to neonatal touch, massage, and myofascial trigger point releases (therapists only) will be
taught to facilitate normal alignment, movement, and comfort of the high-risk infant. Throughout, you will learn how
to facilitate parent involvement and infant attachment for long-term optimal development. Completion of the Hands-
