Here you can listen to some of the world's leading clinicians and researchers presenting their work; eg. Brian Palmer, Liz Brooks, Mark Cregan, Suzanne Colson, Lars Hanson, and others. You can learn from the best from the comfort of your own home. You won't find better quality education than this anywhere!
Speaking of the Experts-in-Lactation, for those of you who are already devotees of this great way of learning we've recently added two new topics. Dr Mark Cregan presents the Composition of Human Breastmilk & Human Development, and the Physiology of Human Lactation: From pregnancy to weaning. Dr Cregan has a very easy presentation style that makes these topics easy to listen to and quite absorbing. For only US$15 each they make gathering your CERPs for recertification easy, enjoyable - and affordable!
