On Nov 21 someone made a comment that Ruth Lawrence said no MDs should be IBCLC. As an MD who is an IBCLC (MD first) I would like to knwo more about this statement. The reason I took the IBCLC exam was to be able to use it with the MD and have people ask questions so I could tell them the amount of training IBCLCs go through even without the MD> As an MD I probably have less contact hours with pure breastfeeding than others who sat for the exam. However, I continue to be actively involved with breastfeeding on a daily basis. Learing is a life long process. -- **************************************************** * Deena Zimmerman MD MPH IBCLC * * Department of Pediatrics * * UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School * * 1 RWJ Place * * New Brunswick, NJ 08903 * * * * phone (908) 235-7248 * * fax (908) 235-7345 * * email [log in to unmask] (internet) * ****************************************************
