Human Lactation Consultant Certification Graduate Outcomes

The demand for a program that prepares aspiring lactation consultants for international certification is rising. Additionally, students and practitioners in other health care fields are increasingly called upon to support and protect breastfeeding in their roles. The certificate program allows current Drexel students to differentiate themselves to potential internship coordinators or employers. It also attracts new students to Drexel, for the purpose of fulfilling the requirements of Pathway 2 for becoming an IBCLC.
