I live in Chapel Hill where I am in private practice as an IBCLC, and  
where I have the great good fortune of being able to participate in  
both local and statewide BF coalitions and where our advocacy effort  
is really taking shape and flourishing, partly due to the membership   
of the 2 women described below, who join an already very  
distinguished team.

Miriam Labbok first qualified as an OB/GYN, is also IBCLC, and is  
active with the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine. She has taught at  
Georgetown University, worked at WHO and most recently at UNICEF. She  
is a titan of breastfeeding advocacy and I for one am thrilled that  
she is now also a neighbor and a friend, as well as Mary Rose Tully  
who is director of Lactation Services at UNC Women's Hospital, & one  
of the founders of the Raleigh Human Milk Bank and active with  
HMBANA: and a faculty member at UNC SPH and the CIYCFC.

As to the specific curriculum for the MPH in Optimal infant feeding,  
I can not provide any details, but I can say that from hearing  
interactions between Miriam, Mary Rose and MPH students that they are  
totally committed to turning out folks who really know what they are  
about.

Regards,
Susan O'Hara-Brill
