Subject: [IBCLC2B] What is an RLC???
For those of you wondering about the "RLC" after your names in your pass
letter, here is a bit of background. There will be more information posted
soon on the IBLCE website, and it will also appear in the Spring 2003 issue
of the IBCLICK.
An IBCLC residing in Louisiana, USA succeeded in getting a bill passed in
her state legislature in June, 1999, which enacted a Registry of IBCLCs.
She intends this legislation to be a step toward mandated coverage of
lactation services by health insurance companies. "Registration" is a term
which predates "certification" by many decades, and is more easily
recognized by people unfamiliar with credentialing.
This registry will be updated annually following the publishing of the exam
results. Because of the success of the program in Louisiana, the IBLCE
Board of Directors passed a motion in August, 1999 that all IBCLCs may state
that they are registered with IBLCE. Using the designation "RLC" is
optional. IBCLC is your professional credential.
