Then the extra programs needed for hospital practice in US should NOT be a 
regular part of the requirements for IBCLCs.  That is over and above.   If 
you want to work in a hospital it is your own responsibilty to meet these 
requiements.  It is not IBLCE's job to impose them on all IBCLCs.

> Dear Lactnet Friends:
>
> Some of the exam requirements are true for hospital practice in the US:
>
>   - Basic life support (for example, CPR)
>   - Medical documentation
>   - Medical terminology
>   - Occupational safety and security for health professionals
>   - Professional ethics for health professionals (for example, the IBLCE
>   Code of Ethics)
>   - Universal safety precautions and infection control
>
> Are they required in other countries? If so, are they required for 
> hospital
> staff? All health workers? Nurses only?
