What is Blueprints?The text, Clinical Experience in Lactation: A Blueprint for Internship was designed to offer the aspiring lactation consultant structured guidelines as she begins the clinical practice aspect of her training. It is the only lactation text written exclusively for clinical practice preparation.
Blueprints focuses on the activities and experiences a lactation intern will need to become confident and knowledgeable in her new profession. There are a wide variety of activities, some of which include:
The first section focuses on:
The second part of the text is an assortment of conditions commonly seen in breastfeeding mothers and infants for which the lactation consultant must be competent to assess, evaluate and develop a plan of care.
The third section contains a collection of forms that the lactation intern can use in the activities and experiences and a variety of record keeping pages to assist her in keeping track of her hours. The aspiring lactation consultant may not need to complete all the activities and experiences depending on her background. But even if an intern is a labor and delivery nurse, doing the birthing activity from the lactation perspective gives what goes on during the birth an entirely different meaning. This text is to help the intern concentrate on areas where she has the least experience and knowledge to better prepare her for the IBLCE exam.
