The S.T.A.B.L.E. Program

Our June national instructor course in Salt Lake City, Utah and our August private instructor course in New York City were simply amazing! We met 58 NICU experts from 25 states in SLC and 19 NICU experts from the New York City area for two days of S.T.A.B.L.E. curriculum immersion and discussion. We're grateful for their compassion and desire to improve neonatal care through education!

Don't miss our last class of 2026 on October 19-20 in SLC, Utah. An optional Cardiac Module day is offered on October 21. Click here for registration information. https://stableprogram.org/courses/
