A Lactation Management Rotation for Family Medicine Residents

Rebecca B. Saenz, MD, IBCLC

Department of Family Medicine, University of Mississippi Medical Center, 2500 North State Street, Jackson, MS 39216, USA.

Lack of knowledge about the practical aspects of breastfeeding management is one of the major barriers to physician support of the breastfeeding dyad. Few physicians receive any training in lactation management during medical school. Because family physicians see both mothers and babies and often attend deliveries, they are in a unique position to care for breastfeeding mothers. This article describes a lactation management rotation for family medicine residents to prepare them to manage breastfeeding problems.

Key Words: lactation • physician education • family medicine residents • curriculum
