Training

This Care of the Newborn Training Guide is based on the Care of the Newborn Reference Manual
(referred to as the “Reference Manual”). If possible, each trainer and each participant should be
given a copy of the Reference Manual for use during the training and to keep afterwards. Each trainer should also be given a copy of this Training Guide. Trainers can then select which materials from the Guide to copy and distribute to participants as needed.
This Training Guide is for trainers and can be used for both pre-service and in-service programs. It contains training and assessment materials in six modules that correspond to the six chapters of the Reference Manual. Each module of the Training Guide may be divided into more than one teaching session. The suggestions on how to use this Guide and the lesson outlines for each module are just a guide. Trainers are encouraged to adapt or revise as needed and appropriate.
