Jan and Others: The issue of licensed vs. lay health care
providers rears
its ugly head again. If I'm understanding the scope of
practice correctly,
an MD IBCLC is not allowed to prescribe medications, to
"order" alternative
therapies, etc. under the new scope of lactation practice.
Those of us who
hold a health care license also have a practice act we must
adhere to or
risk losing our licenses. Hmmm...
