Dear Friends:
I wonder if another element in this fracas is that certification just
means that one knows a bit more about a subject; it doesn't really change one's
scope of practice that is defined by licensure.
What determines what we can and can not do is defined by our
state/province/country, and by legalities. Certification is extra; it is not needed. One
does not need to be any particular combination of alphabet soup to help
mothers and babies.
I don't know if it is possible for IBLCE to come up with a scope of
practice that will serve all of us, everywhere in the world, with all our
different skills and abilities.
Is it possible?
warmly,
