This is THE COURSE to begin the journey towards practicing Breastfeeding Medicine
The goal of this course is to provide breadth and depth of clinical knowledge for physicians and other providers who desire comprehensive breastfeeding education. Each session will focus on evaluation and management strategies in a case-based format, so that participants leave with the knowledge and skills to manage a wide variety of breastfeeding problems that they will encounter in a typical primary care practice.
We have a limited number of 25%-off scholarships for medical students, physicians-in-training, and other health professional students. If interested, please contact us and let us know your training status, and your school/residency program.
