value systems in the neonatal care setting. Educational leadership<br />

and interdisciplinary faculty were crucial in implementing this<br />

innovative model. Change in health outcomes <strong>of</strong> neonatal patients<br />

resulted from interdisciplinary education.<br />

Summary <strong>of</strong> key findings: This model is the first collaboration in<br />

NNP student education for advanced procedural skills for NNP<br />

students in a tri-state area. The model will maximize medical and<br />

nursing faculty resources, increase numbers <strong>of</strong> NNPs who will be<br />

prepared in neonatal resuscitation skills where advanced<br />

interdisciplinary skills education was unavailable to NNP students.<br />

Conclusions: This model will improve marketability <strong>of</strong> the NNP<br />

graduates, prevent complications in the neonatal care setting,<br />

improve patient outcomes, and enhance the skill set <strong>of</strong> new<br />

graduate NNPs. Additionally, interdisciplinary skills’ teaching<br />

maximizes resources for clinical education.<br />
