Neonurture: Car parts incubator
Four million children around the world die each year from treatable conditions in the first month of life. Many
of those children are born in developing countries where resources are scarce. Collaborating to save lives,
doctors, industrial designers, and rural health care experts designed an innovative incubator made out of car
parts. Drs. Olson and Nelson will describe the process of working in interprofessional teams to create
affordable and sustainable solutions to intractable problems and how those lessons apply to any health care
setting.
1st and 2nd year students (except ABSN) are required to attend. All students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to attend.
