Lactation
Medicine Program

The International Breastfeeding Centre’s Centre for Breastfeeding Education provides the Lactation Medicine Program.  The program offers high quality lactation education made up of a theoretical component and an optional practical component.

Our faculty consists of a multi-disciplinary team, specialized in their respective areas of lactation medicine.  We welcome students from Midwifery, Nursing, Dietetics, Nutrition, Naturopathic Medicine, Family Medicine, Pediatrics and many other health science disciplines.  We prepare students to write the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE) exam to become an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Our training also provides continuing education for IBCLCs and other health professionals.

The Centre for Breastfeeding Education is an IBLCE long-term provider of Continuing Education Recognition Points (CERPs) and our courses are approved by the Lactation Education Accreditation and Approval Review Committee (LEAARC).
