To all, The other day when I was responding to a post by Denise on slander, I said something that may inadvertently been misinterpreted. I said something to the effect of people taking a course that offers a certficate of completion, and then that person calling themselves a certified lactation consultant. The reason I said that is because there is a person "out there" who is claiming that they are certified because they attended a one day bf program given by a colleague and myself, and because they received a CERP awarding certificate from that program. I was still fuming from that bit of information when I posted about the slander. I'll be more careful as to how I phrase things in the future. Perhaps we all need to be careful about how we phrase things. A word to the wise.... Jan B.
