Completes focused and increasingly comprehensive evaluations of newborn patients while developing toward independent practice. Gathers and uses relevant maternal/perinatal, delivery, newborn history; performs appropriate physical examinations; develops differential diagnoses; and interprets diagnostic study results with guidance as needed.

Provides routine newborn care and evaluates common neonatal conditions within established scope of practice, clinical privileges, institutional policies, and the individual's demonstrated level of competency. During orientation and development, practices with preceptor and/or supervising neonatologist support, progressing toward independent site coverage once required competencies have been established.

Attends deliveries and participates in neonatal resuscitation and stabilization consistent with Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) standards, initially with preceptor support until competency and independence are established.

Recognizes changes in clinical status, initiates appropriate evaluation and stabilization within demonstrated competency, and promptly seeks physician or additional clinical support when patient acuity or complexity exceeds current experience, privileges, or site capabilities.
