There are people in each and every calling in life who "don't follow the rules," so it shouldn't surprise us, I suppose, that some people trained in lactation management have odd bed-fellows. But unless these folks belong to a profession where there is a license that can be yanked (for failure to follow the rules) or a certification that can be yanked (for failure to follow the rules) there is not a whole heckuva lot we can do but shake our heads. IBCLCs must adhere to the IBLCE Code of Ethics, which tells us we must support the WHO Code. Do any of these other titles, conferred after a short (or even long) course of classwork/clinical work, carry the same ethical responsiblities of the IBCLC profession? -- Liz Brooks JD IBCLC FILCA Wyndmoor, PA, USA *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
