Am interested in your views regarding the future for IBLCE's...where do =
you see the profession in 10 - 20 years? >>
MDs will slowly (like a bunch of dumb glaciers moving uphill . . . that's
how slowly) realize that lactation consultants can help mothers succeed at
breastfeeding AND make money for the doctor engaging their services full
time.
An in-office LC allows a doctor to see more patients and saves phone time and
. . . the time equals money. At that point, LCs will get more respect and
more reimbursement for their services. In the meantime, keep helping moms,
solving problems doctors can't solve and then give the feedback to doctors so
they can take a small amount of the credit . . .
Oh, well.
