Thanks for sharing this link, Janice. I got the article on what physicians know, and it contains a strongly worded conclusion in the commentary, which I quote here: 

To provide optimal lactation management education and practice, integration of lactation management into pre-service and training curricula is essential. Studies demonstrate the paucity of information on lactation at this stage of education. Educating physicians early in their careers will help support families so that they can reach their breastfeeding goals and the AAP recommendation for breastfeeding duration and, in turn, optimize children's health and developmental outcomes.

Slusser AAP Grand Rounds.2006; 15: 45-46.

 I highly recommend this article for anyone working with medical and nursing schools to integrate lactation into the curriculum - it provides a powerful argument.
