>Hello Everyone!

>I am very pleased to announce the launch of a new web-based training
>course in lactation management designed specifically for health care
>professionals titled "Breastfeeding Training: The Gold Standard in
>Infant Nutrition."  This course will offer free continuing education
>units (CME, CEU, CPE) to health care professionals.  This web-based
>training course was designed in partnership with the Virginia
>Department of Health and the University of Virginia as the result of
>a regional USDA Operational Adjustment and Infrastructure (OAF)
>grant.  The course can be accessed through
>http://www.breastfeedingtraining.org.  Below is the course
>description to give you a better idea of what the course will
>entail.  Register and have fun!!!
>
>Course Description:
>Breastfeeding is a very important public health issue. Most medical
>experts agree that breastfeeding enhances both the infant and
>mother's physical and psychological health, while also helping to
>strengthen the bond between mother and infant. To ensure that these
>benefits are realized, health professionals need to understand why
>breastfeeding is important. They also need to understand the
>mechanics of breastfeeding, how to instruct their patients in
>breastfeeding technique, and the types of issues that their patients
>might encounter. This Breastfeeding Training Course will provide
>health professionals with detailed information regarding the theory
>and practice of lactation management. We hope to encourage health
>care professionals in all specialties to become teachers and
>supporters of breastfeeding and lactation management.
