BREASTFEEDING: A CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS WILL ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS AND MORE!



BREASTFEEDING: A CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS is designed for use by those who care for mothers and their babies from conception through the first year of life. This includes physicians, lactation consultants, hospital nurses, clinic nurses, public health nurses, WIC counselors and dieticians.

This efficient and effective guided self-study program:
  • Provides health care providers with current, concise, accurate, evidence-based information without leaving home.
  • Grants continuing education credits.
  • Facilitates competency documentation of breastfeeding skills.

The self study is guided by trainers who have attended a seminar to provide them with the information and skills to facilitate learning at your work site. Each person taking the program has a program book. The trainer works with staff to set target dates for working through the material, schedule demonstrations on the skills in the program, and tracks progress of each participant through the program.

Research on the effectiveness of this program for increasing knowledge and improving attitudes and intentions to assist breastfeeding mothers received the Outstanding Research Paper Award at the 2008 Association of Women's Health, Obstetrical and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) convention in Los Angeles. The abstract of this study is available under the program drop down menu at the research abstract link of this site.
