PRE-CONFERENCE SESSIONS: Thursday, November 14
The following Preconference sessions are open to all attendees.
What Every Physician Needs to Know 1 (In-Person and Virtual) 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
This is a full-day course that aims to fill in the knowledge and clinical skills gaps that many healthcare providers report in their training. The course methods include didactic presentations and audiovisual aids to review the foundation of breastfeeding support, management, and clinical problem-solving. The course will be team-taught by physicians from a variety of specialties including: obstetrics and gynecology, family medicine, pediatrics, and neonatology. Content is based predominantly upon the evidence-based clinical protocols developed and published by the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, as well as statements from ACOG, AAFP, and AAP, as well as the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative “Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding.” This course has been developed and presented to participants in conjunction with the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine’s Annual International Conference since 2001, with periodic review of content and updates of the evidence and recommendations. The target audience includes physicians, medical students, residents, fellows, and all members of the healthcare team, especially those who have direct interaction with breastfeeding families.
Please note: "What Every Physician Needs to Know 1" is a prerequisite to attend "What Every Physician Needs to Know 2."
What Every Physician Needs to Know 2 (In-Person Only) 8:00 am – 3:00 pm
This course is designed to build on the foundation presented in WEPNTK 1 and is open to individuals who have already participated in Course I. The format of this course will cover several case study presentations and discussions.
Protocol Writing Workshop (In-Person Only) 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Curious about writing protocols but afraid you don't have what it takes to be an author? You do have what it takes! This workshop will walk you through the steps of developing a protocol, from lit review to writing.
