Leveraging grant funding referenced below, the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Nursing developed a comprehensive newborn screening educational outreach program for families, providers, and the public. These resources are available here and are separated by Family and Patient Resources (PatientsLearn) and Provider Resources (LearnOnDemand).

The Provider Resources offer free continuing education credit to a variety of healthcare professionals. While these interactive modules are specific to the Arkansas Newborn Screening Program, most aspects are generalizable to programs and healthcare systems globally, particularly descriptions of conditions commonly included in universal newborn screening programs and considerations for the care of infants identified with positive screenings of these conditions through universal newborn screening programs.
