Overview
In this Preventative Healthcare for the Newborn Baby course offered by Coursera in partnership with University of Colorado System, you will learn some medical interventions and skills to keep newborns healthy in the days and weeks after they have been born.
We’ll tell you about medicines like Vitamin K and erythromycin and how they can prevent serious illnesses. We’ll also introduce screening tests like hearing screening and newborn blood screening that help to make sure that babies are set up for success right from the start.
