We have been following the progression of the COVID-19 virus and have been discussing how to address its impact on our community. In an abundance of caution, and with the recommendations of both the Governor and the CDC in mind, we have decided to move all of our BreastfeedLA courses, continuing education classes, seminars, RBC meetings, community meetings, and other gatherings online until further notice. We will continue to update you with scheduling changes throughout the coming weeks.
Please join BreastfeedLA as we present, “Normalize Brown Breasts®: A Primer for Breast Assessment in Non-White Skin Tones”, a live webinar featuring Nekisha Killings, MPH, IBCLC on December 4th from 10am – 12pm PST. By the end of this webinar, clinicians will be better equipped with the knowledge and skills needed for more accurate and inclusive breast health assessments, ensuring improved care for all patients.
Recording only available to those who purchase the live webinar.
Participants will earn 2.0 contact hours and 1.5 L-CERPS.
