Reese Family

There were 6 different training sessions. First one of the Doctors (there were 2 from Utah and 4 from Georgia) would lecture on a certain topic. Then they would take a short test on the lecture. (I helped pass out and collect tests!)

Followed by the hands on practice that was definitely the best part. They tried what had just been taught on the plastic babies. The equipment is authentic and will be used in their hospitals and the babies are equiped to react to what they do to them. There is 1 doctor and 4 students at each table working on mastering the techniques of getting the newborn to breath. The blue bag is the most important piece of equipment - 90% of newborns that aren't breathing can be saved by just giving them air with this bag! This first picture is E. Reese's favorite - she really wants to save the baby!
