This is wonderful.  My physician friends who are planning on sitting IBCLC exams say they have learned so much through studying for the exam.

The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (ABM) is trying to make "Breastfeeding Medicine" a subspeciality of Pediatrics and Family Practice.  So far we are meeting a lot of resistance for yet "another "subspecialty.  In the meantime we have ABM Fellows (FABM) who meet extensive knowledge, teaching, advocacy, research, etc. standards and require recertication every 8 years.  They can be in any primary specialty (OB, Peds, FP, Preventive Med, Public Health, etc.).  We are working on an MD exam (like IBLCE exam, but geared to MDs).
