Wisconsin Newborn Screening (NBS) Program: An Introduction

Did you know? Not all parent/guardians are notified of their infants' NBS results and/or needed referrals that were made/completed. This puts infants at risk. This activity is intended for pediatric clinicians who wish to improve their understanding of the NBS process, NBS rates, communication of NBS results with parent/guardians and making appropriate referrals. This activity was created by geneticists, genetic counselors, pediatricians, public health representatives and parents.

Intended Audience

MD, DO, RN, APRN, LPN, PA, Midwives, Genetic Counselors, Phlebotomists
