Presentation
This certificate aims to prepare doctors for authorisation as holder of the professional title of `competence¿ in neonatology.
The training aims at teaching skills in all aspects of foetal and neonatal medicine.

In neonatal medicine, the doctor must manage all acute or chronic situations which a newborn may present from the point of delivery to departure from the neonatal department, from a curative and diagnostic point of view while providing sufficient information and psychological support to parents.
