<<ILCA should have adopted this approach years ago.
I passed my first and only IBCLE in 1988 and have practiced as a private
lactation consultant before and since passing the exam. I have ALWAYS
maintained from the beginning that the IBCLC functions as a license
regardless of how it is named and ILCA should have called it (should do)
what it is: a national License.
Way back (1993) when I inquired about the logic of mandatory retesting
instead of regular renewal by CEs, because it seemed that the certification
was functioning like a license, I was told that ILCA did not want to issue
licenses because then IBCLCs "might get sued if they have a license.">>
Just a quick note -- ILCA is the professional organization; IBLCE is the
credentialing body. Everything that you wrote really pertains to IBLCE, not
ILCA.
And while I'm at it -- I'll make another plug for everyone joining ILCA as
YOUR professional organization!!
