Breastfeeding Conference

Every other year, the Olson Center for Women’s Health provides a one-day educational conference for health care providers on the benefits of breastfeeding. Our conference focuses on the breastfeeding educational needs for physicians (OB-GYN and family practice), nurse midwives, lactation consultants, nurses, registered dietitians, social workers, and breastfeeding advocates. Continuing education is provided at the in-person conference. Lectures will no longer be recorded for later viewing.
