WILMINGTON, DEL (Dec. 5, 2022) – Today through Wednesday, December 7, Nemours Children’s Health will host the annual Hot Topics in Neonatology Conference at the National Harbor in Maryland. This conference brings together more than 1,000 neonatologists and perinatologists from around the world to discuss and debate promising new research and therapies for newborns.
Conference presenters were selected by an independent committee of prominent neonatology leaders. Following each presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to debate with their peers.
“I’ve been attending the Hot Topics in Neonatology conference since I was a fellow in Burlington, VT, and it’s always been the premier conference for neonatology,” said Dr. Kanekal Gautham, Chair of the Department of Pediatrics, Nemours Children’s Health, and speaker at Hot Topics in Neonatology. “In my opinion, the topics discussed in this conference are ‘hot’ not only because they are hot off the press, the latest and best evidence in our field, but also because there is vigorous debate between experts, experienced clinicians, and intellectuals. Such debate advances our knowledge and expands our critical thinking.”
This year’s conference will include presentations by Dmytro Dobryanskyy, MD, PhD, and parent Oleksandra Balyasna about the challenges of neonatal care in Ukraine and delivering a preemie during war. The conference will also feature presentations of groundbreaking research studies funded by the National Institutes of Health.
