Hello, This is my first message to lactnet since I subscribed a few days ago. What an interesting world we have here. I'm from South Australia. Have been an LC for several years both in pp and as a lactation educator as well as a lecturer in applied science for nurses. I'm also project officer for 3 breastfeeding support services based from general practitioner practices - we are very fortunate in SA that there are approx 15 GP/LCs who are all very active in the field. I've found it great seeing familiar names such as Kathleen, Patricia, Beverley, Jan etc, etc as well as my Australian colleagues. Regarding a correspondance b/f course - you may be interested in an international one based in Australia. Registrations are accepted anytime in 1996 and you have 7 months to complete the course at which you will receive a Certificate of Participation stating CEUs or CERPs (it has been accredited with 30 CEUs or 30 CERPs). Cost $AUS400. The package includes a study guide, workshop notes, MCQs, case studies etc, etc. Written work is reviewed by IBCLCs. Just let me know if you want more information.
