Jennifer et al,

I live in Afghanistan and have the same concerns.  I had hopes of creating a
lactation consulting course here, with the dream of some of the students
eventually being able to take the exam.  However, with the added
requirements it will be nearly impossible unless the program includes all of
the additional courses that are required.
