<h4>What:</h4>
For the 34th year, Emory University is pleased to offer a dynamic and engaging conference on breastfeeding in collaboration with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, hospitals across the region, and partners from community organizations on April 11 & 12.
New this year, we are offering a pre-conference course in partnership with the EPIC® Breastfeeding Program: 'Breastfeeding Fundamentals for Healthcare Providers' on April 10.
Our conference is geared toward multidisciplinary colleagues who care for mothers and infants: Physicians, Advanced Practice Providers, Nurses, Dietitians, therapists, lactation consultants, WIC counselors, and more!
The pre-conference course is intended to build the skills of those who are not directly trained or certified in lactation. Physicians, APPs, and nurses, among others, will benefit!
