Pam asks:
 
 
Did I  read the new eligibility requirements correctly to say that candidates 
can  still qualify under the old pathways until 2011, if they have already 
started  preparing for the exam under those pathways?  My reading of the  
difference for LLL Leaders with a B.A. was under the old pathway, 2500  clinical 
experience hours, plus demonstrating the 4 clock-hours of the medical  background 
subjects, and under the new requirement, 2000 clinical experience  hours, but 
all having taken place within the last 5 years, and no REQUIREMENT  for the 
medical background courses, but with those courses  "recommended."

Right.  PLUS 45 hours lactation management course (didactic) within  the past 
5 years.  
 
So:  Non-Licensed HCP:  2000 hours breastfeeding experience under  
supervision within 5 hours sitting the exam plus 45 hours (or more) lactation  education 
(didactic).
 
Licensed HCP:  1000 hours bf experience plus the above.
