IBLCE does have teeth, several IBCLCs have lost their certification for 
breeches of ethics over the past few years.

I do agree that more needs to be done to ensure clinical competencies, 
this is what the drive to develop internships is designed to address 
until we have university programs in place. I encourage those who are 
eligible to mentor interns and pass along your competency. I for one 
find mentoring one of the most rewarding parts of this work.
