Dear all:

If there are any JDs out there that care to comment on the legal ramifications of the new scope of 
work for how we can continue to practice I'd love to hear their interpretations.  An RN, MD, PhD or 
other credential does not qualify one for making legal interpretations.

Here are my questions if any of you can to venture an opinion.  I promise I will not sue you if your 
legal interpretation turns out to not be exact.

Question #1:

Is it legal to change a scope of work of an entire profession after one has already certified under 
one scope of work?  Or put in other words, are those of us who already certified grandfathered in 
so that we can practice under the scope of work that was in effect when we certified?

Question #2:

If we really cannot practice under our scope of work, what legal wording would you suggest for 
those of us who wish to state that we are not practicing as IBCLCs when we provide evidence 
based information that may knowingly or unknowingly contradict nonevidence-based potentially 
dangerous informaton from health care practitioners.

Best Regards, 

Susan E. Burger, MHS, PhD, IBCLC

PS.  Wondering if I need to use some sort of disclaimer today when I teach my breastfeeding class 
which contains information that directly conflicts with the standard practices of several pediatric 
offices in Manhattan.
